DOI: 10.1002/advs.202203291
Abstract: Due to the continuous rise in biofilm‐related infections, biofilms seriously threaten human health. The formation of biofilms makes conventional antibiotics ineffective and dampens immune clearance. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms of biofilm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2020.124778
Abstract: Abstract Sepsis and implant-related bacterial infections are mainly caused by Gram-positive bacteria accompanied with the notorious drug resistance and biofilms formation. Although the recently concerned photothermal therapy (PTT) shows good performance in killing of planktonic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.2c07378
Abstract: The formation of microbial biofilms is acknowledged as a major virulence factor in a range of persistent local infections. Failures to remove biofilms with antibiotics foster the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and result in chronic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41522-019-0111-8
Abstract: Surface superhydrophobicity makes bacterial biofilms very difficult to fight, and it is a combination of their matrix composition and complex surface roughness which synergistically protects these biomaterials from wetting. Although trying to eradicate biofilms with… read more here.
