Antimicrobial molecules have been used for more than 50 years now and are the basis of
modern medicine. No surgery can nowdays be imagined to be performed without antibiotics; …

The worldwide emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogenic microorganisms,
including bacteria and viruses due to a plethora of reasons, such as genetic mutation and …

Research investigating the interface between biological organisms and nanomaterials
nowadays requires multi-faceted microscopic methods to elucidate the interaction …

Persister bacterial cells are great at surviving antibiotics. The phenotypic means by which
they do that are underexplored. As such, atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to …

The outstanding desiccation tolerance of Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) enables long-
term persistence in food products with low-water activity to increase the infection risk …

We have previously reported that supplementation of exogenous glutathione (GSH)
promotes ciprofloxacin resistance in Escherichia coli by neutralizing antibiotic-induced …

The roles of the thicknesses and grafting densities of the surface biopolymers of four multi-
drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli bacterial strains that varied in their biofilm formation in …

Mechanical signaling involved in molecular interactions lies at the heart of materials science
and biological systems, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here we use …

Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is mostly bactericidal at 1% and yeasticidal at 0.2%(5 min) but
not mycobactericidal. Its antimicrobial activity is explained by membrane damage and …

Localized electric fields have become, in recent years, a source of inspiration to researchers
and laboratories thanks to a huge amount of applications derived from it, including …
