DOI: 10.1002/smll.202200743
Abstract: Developing effective therapies to fight against biofilm-associated infection is extremely urgent. The complex environment of biofilm forces the bacteria to evade the elimination of antibiotics, resulting in recalcitrant chronic infections. To address this issue, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41522-019-0098-1
Abstract: Biofilm-dispersal is a key determinant for further dissemination of biofilm-embedded bacteria. Recent evidence indicates that biofilm-dispersed bacteria have transcriptional features different from those of both biofilm and planktonic bacteria. In this study, the in vitro… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics8020061
Abstract: Bacterial biofilms and their associated infections are a continuing problem in the healthcare community. Previous approaches utilizing anti-biofilm coatings suffer from short lifetimes, and their applications are limited to surfaces. In this research, we explored… read more here.
