Bacteria can form single-and multispecies biofilms exhibiting diverse features based upon
the microbial composition of their community and microenvironment. The study of bacterial …

Biofilms are assemblages of bacteria embedded within a matrix of extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) attached to a substratum. The process of biofilm formation is a complex …

A biofilm is a very complex consortium formed by a mix of different microorganisms, which
have become an important health problem, because its formation is a resistance mechanism …

Staphylococcus xylosus (S. xylosus) has become an emerging opportunistic pathogen due
to its strong biofilm formation ability. Simultaneously, the biofilm of bacteria plays an …

With the use of the atomic force microscope (AFM), the Nanomicrobiology field has
advanced drastically. Due to the complexity of imaging living bacterial processes in their …

Piezoelectric quartz tuning fork has drawn the attention of many researchers for the
development of new atomic force microscopy (AFM) self‐sensing probes. However, only few …

Recently, sensor and biosensor applications have become widespread and are now
significant tools in the biomedical field and other areas. Since quartz tuning fork (QTF) …

Here, we devise a conductive Atomic Force Microscope (C-AFM) based on quartz tuning
forks (QTFs) and metallic tips capable of simultaneously imaging the topography and …

The quantitative measurement of biomolecular interactions is of great interest in molecular
biology. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has proved its capacity to act as a biosensor and …

Staphylococcus xylosus (S. xylosus) is a coagulase-negative, Gram-positive coccoid
organism that was first identified in 1975 (Schleifer and Kloos, 1975). It is a common …
