Recent studies have highlighted the metabolic differences between biofilm and planktonic forms of VBNC bacteria, particularly in the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Research indicates that biofilm ...

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...

Endolysins are enzymes produced by bacteriophages that play a crucial role in breaking down the bacterial cell wall ... shown to effectively control both planktonic and biofilm cells of ...

Each year, most species of bacteria in a Wisconsin lake rapidly evolved, apparently in response to dramatically changing seasons, and then evolved back. Like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog ...

But having done a lot more reading about the mirror bacteria situation, I’m here with bad news: It’s real, and it’s really serious. More than 35 scientists, including leading researchers ...

bacteria grow ubiquitously in nature as complex biofilms and not as the planktonic form studied in laboratories. Microbiologists now believe that obviating the biofilm mode in preference for the ...

Pseudomonasis a type of bacteria that's commonly found outdoors, such as in soil and water. It can also thrive in moist places indoors. Some types of this germ, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.

The vaginal flora is the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora is dominated by various lactobacillus species. Lactobacilli help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic ...

Fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm, occur when one type of fungal microbe becomes too prevalent in one area of the body so that the immune system cannot defeat it. Like many ...
