Bacteria can form single-and multispecies biofilms exhibiting diverse features based upon
the microbial composition of their community and microenvironment. The study of bacterial …

Bacteria found in diverse ecosystems grow in a community of aggregated cells that favors
their survival and colonization. Different extracellular polymeric substances are used to …

Currently, few techniques are available for the evaluation of bacterial biofilm adhesion.
These detection tools generally require time for culture and/or arduous handling steps. In …

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors are becoming a good alternative to analytical
methods for the measurement of bacterial growth in liquid media culture. For this purpose …

The shape of metallisation on Quartz Tuning Forks (QTFs) allowed to use them as
impedance sensors for monitoring biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains …

Abstract Micro-and Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) form a group of transducers used
for very precise mass sensing (in the range of femtograms) and force detection (in the range …

Accurate prediction of resonance frequency shift due to binding of a discrete cell to a
microcantilever resonator was achieved, in closed form, by modifying the Dunkerley method …

We present a theoretical investigation on the dynamic characteristics of a nanomechanical
resonator attached with an adsorbate at an arbitrary position. Cantilevered and bridged …

In this study the novel application of laser interferometry method in quantitative analysis of
drugs distributions in bacterial biofilms is presented. Ciprofloxacin diffusion through P …

In this paper we present a metrological method for determination of mass density of focused
ion beam induced deposition (FIBID) materials using quartz tuning fork (QTF) mass change …
