A Computational Characterization of Nanoscale Interactions of Biological Systems
C Luyet - 2024 - deepblue.lib.umich.edu
Treatment of biofilm infections is difficult, in part, due to the bacteria's pathogenicity and, in
part, due to biofilm's structural resilience. Not only does a drug have to traverse the …
