However, the biofilm regrows because 5 % are left, with some remaining matrix. So, the mixture of H 2 O 2 and PAA can be applied as a final step to remove residual cells,” Kong said.

Biofilm shape, then, alters nutrient availability, and nutrient availability alters metabolism and cell survival. “By using different types of metabolism along these gradients, [a biofilm] can make ...

Once the biofilm-eradication process is complete, the robot gets removed from the body via a laparoscopically-inserted magnet. In lab tests performed on an extracted pig digestive system, the ...
