CAM/TMA-DPH as a promising alternative to SYTO9/PI for cell viability assessment in bacterial biofilms.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
INTRODUCTION: Accurately assessing biofilm viability is essential for evaluating both biofilm formation and the efficacy of antibacterial treatments. Traditional SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) live/dead staining in biofilm viability assays often ace...

Study of interaction in dual-species biofilm of Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae co-isolated from peripheral venous catheter using Raman characterization mapping and machine learning algorithms.

Microbial pathogenesis
Polymicrobial biofilm infections, especially associated with medical devices such as peripheral venous catheters, are challenging in clinical settings for treatment and management. In this study, we examined the mixed biofilm formed by Candida glabra...

Active Microrobots for Dual Removal of Biofilms via Chemical and Physical Mechanisms.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Bacterial biofilms are complex multicellular communities that adhere firmly to solid surfaces. They are widely recognized as major threats to human health, contributing to issues such as persistent infections on medical implants and severe contaminat...

Machine learning-based prediction of non-aeration linear alkylbenzene sulfonate mineralization in an oxygenic microalgal-bacteria biofilm.

Bioresource technology
Microalgal-bacteria biofilm shows great potential in low-cost greywater treatment. Accurately predicting treated greywater quality is of great significance for water reuse. In this work, machine learning models were developed for simulating and predi...

Antimicrobial activity of L. Pers against periodontal pathogen: .

PeerJ
BACKGROUND: is widely recognised as a periodontal pathogen. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of medicinal plant extracts as alternative treatments for periodontitis to combat the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria....

Miniature Robots for Battling Bacterial Infection.

ACS nano
Micro/nanorobots have shown great promise for minimally invasive bacterial infection therapy. However, bacterial infections usually form biofilms inside the body by aggregation and adhesion, preventing antibiotic penetration and increasing the likeli...
