They are considered to be a major contributor to global health problems, because they lead to persistent infections. Researchers have now identified a plant metabolite called MEcPP that can disrupt ...

Without fimbriae, biofilm formation cannot begin. “Biofilms are like fortresses for bacteria,” said Jingzhe Guo, UCR project scientist and first author of the paper. “By disrupting the initial phase ...

Researchers have discovered that proteins found in oyster blood have bacteria-killing properties and can boost the ...

The results were particularly promising for Staphylococcus aureus (golden staph), a major cause of drug-resistant skin and ...

Bacterial biofilms associated with infections are an increasing problem for antibiotic treatments and delivery techniques because they form a natural boundary that prevents delivery to the bacteria ...

Microorganisms like bacteria and algae grow in complex assemblages called biofilms -- the slimy coatings found on rocks in streambeds. These taxonomically diverse communities are essential to ...

To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces a novel approach to simulating SAR images of crater terrain. The approach incorporates crater formation theory to describe the relationship between ...

No one deserves to go through life hating the place where they live – their body. Body image should not hinge on whether a person looks like a runway model. It's possible for a person to have a ...
