A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...
Disrupting quorum sensing in Enterococcus faecalis can backfire, causing larger biofilms, higher antibiotic tolerance, and prolonged bloodstream infections, potentially worsening infectious ...
Antypas, H., Schmidtchen, V., Staiger, W.I. et al. Loss of Fsr quorum sensing promotes biofilm formation and worsens outcomes in enterococcal infective endocarditis. Nat Commun 17, 1668 (2026).
The development of antibiotic resistant microbial pathogens has become a global health threat and a major concern in modern medicine. The problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has majorly arisen ...
Aquaculture is critical for global food security, yet bacterial diseases remain a persistent challenge that threatens animal welfare and farm profitability.
For many years, scientists believed that stopping bacteria from communicating with each other could help treat infections.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are classically defined by cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition, yet increasing evidence shows that many NSAIDs ...
The study shows that Qi601™, a non-living postbiotic derived from a beneficial bacterial biofilm, rapidly binds nanoplastics—ultra-small plastic particles increasingly found in food, water, and human ...
In experiments aboard the International Space Station, a surface treatment developed engineers prevented the growth of microbial biofims. These films can damage equipment and potentially cause illness ...
