The adaptive and genetic changes of the micro-organisms within the biofilm make them resistant to all known antimicrobial agents. Thus, the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies used to fight ...

Most of the disease-causing bacteria secrete matrix-like layers around themselves called biofilms. These biofilms act as ...

The discovery could pave the way to starving antibioitc-resistant bacteria without new drugs or harmful chemicals.

IISc scientists have found a way to dismantle the protective biofilms of disease-causing bacteria using an enzyme from cows, ...

Infections with bacterial or fungal biofilms have emerged as a major public heath concern because biofilm-growing cells are highly resistant to both antibiotics and host immune defenses.

This allows acute infections to become established as chronic infections that are resistant to treatment. As a result, biofilms are a major contributor to the global health challenge posed by ...

Biofilms are highly resistant to antibiotics. To overcome biofilms, Rotello has developed the equivalent of a microscopic guided missile that penetrates the biofilm and, once inside, delivers a ...

This contributes to forming a protective biofilm that makes the bacterium resistant to antibiotic treatment. What could this ...
