Numerous in vitro studies highlight the role of quorum sensing in the pathogenicity and
virulence of biofilms. This narrative review discusses general principles in quorum sensing …

Biofilms are a common survival strategy employed by bacteria in healthcare settings, which
enhances their resistance to antimicrobial and biocidal agents making infections difficult to …

Biological tissues, sediments, or engineered systems are spatially structured media with a
tortuous and porous structure that host the flow of fluids. Such complex environments can …

The advent of implanted medical devices has greatly improved the quality of life and
increased longevity. However, infection remains a significant risk because bacteria can …

Bacteria thrive in environments rich in fluid flow, such as the gastrointestinal tract,
bloodstream, aquatic systems, and the urinary tract. Despite the importance of flow, how flow …

Swarming bacteria can organize themselves into different local communities, ranging from
active cell rafts to reticular biofilms. How millions of motile and immotile cells are dynamically …

Physicochemical conditions play a key role in the development of biofilm removal strategies.
This study presents an integrated, double-layer, high-throughput microfluidic chip for real …

Hypothesis The bacteria suspended in pure water self-assemble into unique patterns
depending on bacteria-bacteria, bacteria-substrate and bacteria-liquid interactions. The …

Biofilms are a complex and heterogeneous aggregation of multiple populations of
microorganisms linked together by their excretion of extracellular polymer substances (EPS) …

Inspired by the self-organization of unicellular species into multicellular organisms, we use
theory and simulation to design a system of mobile, active microcapsules that produce …
