Dr. Ghigo's research has contributed to a better understanding of the biological resources used by commensal and pathogenic bacteria to form biofilms. The Ghigo lab is currently focusing on the ...

biofilms that form in situ, that is, in the surface water, are more likely to account for seasonal cholera epidemics ...

The mouth is one of the most densely populated microbial habitats in the body, home to more than 700 species of bacteria. These bacteria inhabit not only the surfaces of the teeth and gums in biofilm ...

In a healthy mouth, bacterial species live in homeostasis, and they gather in dental biofilms, known as plaque, that accumulate throughout the mouth. Trouble arises when homeostasis is lost.

Faye Donald: Today, I'm going to show you how guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, works when we professionally clean a patient's mouth from start to finish. My job as a dental hygienist is to detect ...

“The two became totally, irreversibly intertwined,” Chimileski added. Ever since, Chimileski has captured the intricate structures of hundreds of bacterial biofilms at microscopic and macroscopic ...
