Antimicrobials against planktonic cells and established biofilms at low doses are in increasing demand to tackle antibiotic-resistant biofilm infections. As a promising alternative to antibiotics, cationic polymers can effectively kill planktonic mic...
The present study demonstrates lignin (L), fragments of lignin (FL), and oxidized fragmented lignin (OFL) as templates for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) viz., lignin-ZnO (L-ZnO), hierarchical FL-ZnO, and OFL-ZnO NPs. The X-ray d...
Accurate detection and segmentation of single cells in three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence time-lapse images is essential for observing individual cell behaviors in large bacterial communities called biofilms. Recent progress in machine-learning-base...
Micrograph comparison remains useful in bioscience. This technology provides researchers with a quick snapshot of experimental conditions. But sometimes a two- condition comparison relies on researchers' eyes to draw conclusions. Our Bioimage Analysi...
Biofilms are one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistance. It acts as a physical barrier against the human immune system and drugs. The use of anti-biofilm agents helps in tackling the menace of antibiotic resistance. The identification of effi...
Bacteria often grow into matrix-encased three-dimensional (3D) biofilm communities, which can be imaged at cellular resolution using confocal microscopy. From these 3D images, measurements of single-cell properties with high spatiotemporal resolution...
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that can form on various surfaces, including medical devices, industrial equipment, and natural environments. The presence of biofilms can lead to a range of problems, including infections, reduced e...
Catheter-related biofilm infection remains the main problem for millions of people annually, affecting morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Despite the recent advances in the prevention of biofilm formation, alternative methods for biofilm prev...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a notorious pathogen that has emerged as a serious global health concern over the past few decades. Staphylococcal accessory regulator A (SarA) and 4,4'-diapophytoene synthase (CrtM) play a crucia...
