Trends in Microbiology, 2013 Bacteria can grow and proliferate either as single, independent cells or organized in aggregates commonly referred to as biofilms. When bacteria succeed in forming a biofilm within the human host, the infection often becomes very resistant to treatment and can develop into a chronic state.

Biofilm and phytopharmaceuticals [PDF]
Urologie pro praxi, 2020 Akutni infekce mocových cest je v dospěle populaci velmi castým onemocněnim. Plati zde, že mnohem větsi zdravotni potiže než infekce akutni přinaseji chronicke a recidivujici bakterialni infekce. Tvorba biofilmu je významným faktorem, který umožňuje delsi přeživani bakterii a take významně ztěžuje lecbu bakterialnich infekci.

Biofilms and their properties [PDF]
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2018 Bacteria within the oral cavity live primarily as complex, polymicrobial biofilms. Dental biofilms are necessary etiological factors for dental caries and periodontal diseases but have also been implicated in diseases outside the oral cavity. Biofilm is the preferred lifestyle for bacteria, and biofilms are found on almost any surface in nature ...

Autogenic versus environmental control during development of river biofilm [PDF]
, 2009 In the natural environment, microbial community structure of river biofilm is controlled by biotic and abiotic factors. This study explored the capacity to manipulate the structure of microbial communities by modifying environmental conditions during the

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Joule‐assisted nanotherapeutic urethral stent harnesses a smart, biodegradable magnesium stent to orchestrate spatiotemporal theragenerative therapy for urethral strictures. Magnetically induced Joule heating enables on‐demand drug release and bacterial ablation, while simultaneously guiding urothelial regeneration.

Simulating biofilm deformation and detachment with the immersed boundary method [PDF]
Communications in Computational Physics, 19(3):682-732, 2016, 2015 We apply the immersed boundary (or IB) method to simulate deformation and detachment of a periodic array of wall-bounded biofilm colonies in response to a linear shear flow. The biofilm material is represented as a network of Hookean springs that are placed along the edges of a triangulation of the biofilm region. The interfacial shear stress, lift and
