For years scientists have been working on self-repairing films that could be placed onto products to boost their lifetimes

Bioelectrodes also have a big appetite for waste and are ready to be scaled up and used to clean up industrial sites while producing electricity as a byproduct

Researchers in China report that air plasma can be used to kill biofilms found on the surfaces of perishable fruits and foods—significantly extending their shelf life, and reducing the world’s “food waste” problem as well

Researcher explores microbiological mechanisms as World Health Organization urges for a day of abstinence from tobacco use

Work could help us prevent biofilms that play a role in persistent and relapsing infections

In cell cultures, the new compounds, known as cathuitamycins, are able to stop the Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria from forming a biofilm

New research has shown that a bacteriophage is critical to the formation of biofilms by Pseudomonas

One of the most mysterious forms of life may turn out to be a rich and untapped source of antibacterial drugs.

Los Alamos and partners test ionic liquids to break bacterial biofilm layer and save lives.

An advanced assay quickly illuminates bacteria for more rapid, accurate detection.
