Controlling Biofilm Transport with Porous Metamaterials Designed with Bayesian Learning [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials 147,
(2023): 106127, 2023 Biofilm growth and transport in confined systems frequently occur in natural and engineered systems. Designing customizable engineered porous materials for controllable biofilm transportation properties could significantly improve the rapid utilization of biofilms as engineered living materials for applications in pollution alleviation, material self ...

Biofilm Survival Strategies in Chronic Wounds
Microorganisms, 2022 Bacterial biofilms residing in chronic wounds are thought to have numerous survival strategies, making them extremely difficult to eradicate and resulting in long-term infections. However, much of our knowledge regarding biofilm persistence stems from in

Biophysics underlying the swarm to biofilm transition [PDF]
Science Advances 2022, 2021 Bacteria organize in a variety of collective states, from swarming, which has been attributed to rapid surface exploration, to biofilms, which are highly dense immobile communities attributed to stress resistance. It has been suggested that biofilm and swarming are oppositely controlled, making this transition particularly interesting for understanding

Diffusion of antibiotics through a biofilm in the presence of diffusion and absorption barriers [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 102, 032408 (2020), 2020 We propose a model of antibiotic diffusion through a bacterial biofilm when diffusion and/or absorption barriers develop in the biofilm. The idea of this model is: We deduce details of the diffusion process in a medium in which direct experimental study is difficult, based on probing diffusion in external regions.

Clinical Impact of Antibiotics for the Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Infections
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial biofilms are highly recalcitrant to antibiotic therapies due to multiple tolerance mechanisms. The involvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a wide range of biofilm-related infections often leads to treatment failures.
