How and why microorganisms attach to plastic particles in various environments, including oceans, rivers, and soils, is currently poorly understood. Bacterial colonization is likely influenced by ...
Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling tenaciously to the surfaces of targeted human cells.
Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

Python scales host microstructures that block bacterial biofilms—revealing potential for antimicrobial materials
Materials inspired by nature, or biomimetic materials, are nothing new. Scientists have designed water-resistant materials inspired by lotus leaves and rose petals, unsinkable metals based on the ...
Illustration of the molecular handshake driving Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to human skin. The bacterial adhesin SdrD (purple) binds tightly to the host receptor desmoglein-1 (DSG-1, orange) on ...
