Biofilms are aggregates of bacteria, in most cases, which are resistant usually to broad-
spectrum antibiotics in their typical concentrations or even in higher doses. A trend of …

Oxygen (O2) quantification is essential for assessing cell metabolism, and its consumption in
cell culture is an important indicator of cell viability. Recent advances in microfluidics have …

Biofilms are the primary cause of clinical bacterial infections and are impervious to typical
amounts of antibiotics, necessitating very high doses for elimination. Therefore, it is …

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 …

Electrical impedance spectroscopy has been used extensively for sensing and biosensing
due to the multiple electrical properties that can be interrogated through varying the …

The negative impact of biofilms in both the industry and the human health, demands the
development of strategies for the in situ and early detection of biofilm formation. In this …

The anchoring biofilm layer is expected to exhibit a different response to environmental
stresses than for portions in the bulk, due to the protection from other strata and the proximity …

A dual fluorescence microscopy and electrochemical strategy to investigate how cell–
surface interactions influence the cellular responses to cues for the cell-based biosensing of …

Objectives Non-invasive and effort independent biomarkers are needed to better assess the
effects of drug therapy on healthy muscle and that affected by muscular dystrophy (mdx) …

In favourable environmental conditions microorganisms can adhere to surfaces and
reproduce, forming biofilm. Such a structure causes biodeterioration, ie biological …
