implants, surgical instruments, and so forth. It would be expected that such materials, by preventing biofilm formation and hence reducing infection rates, provide better patient outcomes and ...

BioAFM instruments are designed to measure soft, fragile, and complex samples, including single molecules, nucleic acids, ...

“We found if we had a bare glass surface without our coating, the bacteria formed a thick biofilm, whereas with ... an infection-preventing coating for implants.

The resulting gluey hydrogel could have biomedical applications like coating medical implants, which would ... surfaces and discourage bacterial biofilm formation,” the researchers said in ...

These proteins help cells and bacteria attach to surfaces, which may result in the growth of biofilms that can significantly ... as different as medical implants and the hulls of ships.
