Abstract: Particle tracking microrheology was used to investigate the viscoelasticity of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms grown in microfluidic cells at various flow rates and when subjected to biofilm-degrading enzymes. Biofilm viscoelasticity was found to harden as a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.708150
Abstract: Biofilm-forming bacteria are sources of infections because they are often resistant to antibiotics and chemical removal. Recombinant biofilm-degrading enzymes have the potential to remove biofilms gently, but they can be toxic toward microbial hosts and… read more here.
