The adhesiveness of hydrogels is urgently required in various biomedical applications such
as medical patches, tissue sealants, and flexible electronic devices. However, biological …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) constitutes crucial elements within bacterial
biofilms, facilitating accelerated antimicrobial resistance and conferring defense against the …

Uncontrolled bleeding and infection can cause significant increases in mortalities. Hydrogel
sealants have attracted extensive attention for their ability to control bleeding. However …

Persistent staphylococcal infections often involve surface‐associated communities called
biofilms. S taphylococcus aureus biofilm development is mediated by the co‐ordinated …

Bacterial biofilms are communities of cells enclosed in an extracellular polymeric matrix in
which cells adhere to each other and to foreign surfaces. The development of a biofilm is a …

Biofilms are complex mixtures of proteins, DNA, and polysaccharides surrounding bacterial
communities as protective barriers that can be biochemically modified during the bacterial …

Biofilms occur in a broad range of environments under heterogeneous physicochemical
conditions, such as in bioremediation plants, on surfaces of biomedical implants, and in the …

We demonstrate that the microstructural and mechanical properties of bacterial biofilms can
be created through colloidal self-assembly of cells and polymers and thereby link the …

Attempts at removal of drinking water biofilms rely on various preventive and curative
strategies such as nutrient reduction in drinking water, disinfection or water flushing, which …

Changes in temperature were found to affect the morphology, cell viability, and mechanical
properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterial biofilms. S. epidermidis biofilms are …
