New insights into how some bacteria survive antibiotics could lead to the development of novel treatment strategies. Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with ...

In labs, bacterial colonies usually grow in streaks in petri dishes, but until now no one has known how the colonies organize themselves in more realistic three-dimensional (3-D) environments, such as ...

Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can retreatment with antibiotics, according to a study published today in eLife. The results show that fast-growing individuals within ...

Bacterial infections are extraordinarily difficult to treat when pathogens are protected by a biofilm. The film forms as a consequence of bacterial colonies growing together in a tough and protective ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers identified and quantified fungal and bacterial microbial colonies attached to face masks used in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...
