Researchers have now identified a plant metabolite called MEcPP that can disrupt biofilm formation. In plants, this metabolite helps generate critical molecules and is related to biochemical signaling ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that ...

A new ally is emerging in the increasingly urgent battle against superbugs – and you might have encountered it before at the ...
