The development of novel therapies to control diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant
pathogens is one of the major challenges we are currently facing. Many important plant …

With the increasing resistance exhibited by undesirable bacteria to traditional antibiotics, the
need to discover alternative (or, at least, supplementary) treatments to combat chemically …

Human health damage and economic losses due to bacterial infections are very serious
issues worldwide. Excessive use of antibiotics has caused an increase in bacterial …

Bacteria use a process called quorum sensing to communicate and orchestrate collective
behaviours, including virulence factor secretion and biofilm formation. Quorum sensing …

One factor limiting the expansion of nanomedicines has been the high cost of the materials
and processes required for their production. We present a continuous, scalable, low cost …

Advances in nanoformulation have driven progress in biomedicine by producing nanoscale
tools for biosensing, imaging, and drug delivery. Flash-based technology, the combination of …

Surfaces that can both prevent bacterial biofouling and inhibit the expression of virulence
phenotypes in surrounding planktonic bacteria are of interest in a broad range of contexts …

Biofilms are a global health concern responsible for 65 to 80% of the total number of acute
and persistent nosocomial infections, which lead to prolonged hospitalization and a huge …

The Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacterium, is the causative agent of cholera. Quorum
sensing is a cell-to-cell communication that leads to gene expression, accumulation of …

The overprescription and improper use of antibiotics have contributed to the evolution of
bacterial resistance, making it urgent to develop alternative therapies and agents with better …
