A research team led by Prof. Liu Xuanyong from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

which generates serious consequences for therapy of biofilm-associated infections. The MIC of antibiotics to biofilm-growing bacteria may be up to 1000-fold higher than that of planktonic bacteria.

Scientists were shocked to discover that microplastics don’t just pollute the environment, they may also be fueling the rise ...

While bacteria can grow biofilms on any surface, researcher Gross found that microplastics supercharged this process. When ...

"This is the first study showing the clinical efficacy of a nanotherapy in the treatment of a severe chronic biofilm infection," says Hyun (Michel) Koo of Penn Dental Medicine. "We previously ...

Ferumoxytol is also an FDA-approved drug. Apical periodontitis is an infection caused by biofilms — dense, sticky communities of bacteria — attaching deep in the root canal. Root canals are the ...

Boston University researchers discovered that microplastics bolster bacteria's antibiotic resistance. The tiny plastic fragments, omnipresent on Earth, facilitate bacterial biofilm creation, thwarting ...

Time to take a long hard look at non-metal constructs? We’re referring to PEKK, not PEEK. PEKK is antibacterial, a ...
