Background: Biofilm formation is a major clinical challenge contributing to treatment failure of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Lytic bacteriophages (phages) can target biofilm associated ...

2021), we have great interest in the exploration of the anti-bacterial activity of this novel compound. SYG-180-7 is similar to SYG-180-2-2 in structure and has strong hydrophobicity. The purpose of ...

Osteomyelitis: An infection of the bone that can be caused by bacteria, including MRSA. Biofilm: A structured community of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and are encased in a protective layer ...

Feb. 12, 2025 — Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum ...

Abstract: There is a growing body of theoretical and experimental evidence that in addition to the biochemical signaling using auto-inducers and ion channels, biological cells and more specifically ...

Boo Shan Tseng studies bacterial communities called biofilms. Bacterial biofilms impact everything from industry to agriculture to medicine, and are everywhere around (and in) us. The assistant ...

2011;9(8):653-679. Active surveillance culture efficacy to reduce the spread of infection in outbreak settings, particularly MRSA, is recognized, but its role in endemic conditions remains unclear.

Scientists believe the protein works by disrupting the “biofilms” that bacteria often form within the body. Biofilms are groups of microorganisms that stick to one another and, often ...

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that attach to surfaces, enclosed in a sticky, protective matrix. The team's discovery showed oyster hemolymph can kill bacterial pathogens in solution ...

These form when bacteria decide to get sticky, adhering to surfaces and secreting substances to protect themselves, and the study authors note that bacteria in biofilms can persevere against much ...
