Abstract: Faster growing bacteria tend to be killed faster by antibiotics. In a complex environment exposed to antibiotics, however, the fate of a bacterial population depends on diverse factors. In a new study, Schlomann et al.… read more here.

Abstract: Motile bacteria are often found in complex, polymer-rich environments in which microbes can aggregate via polymer-induced depletion forces. Bacterial aggregation has many biological implications; it can promote biofilm formation, upregulate virulence factors, and lead to… read more here.
