    Bacterial biofilms exhibit a clock and wavefront process that spatially patterns sporulation without requiring long-range diffusion of molecular signals and is reminiscent of patterning mechanisms previously thought to be exclusive to plants and animals.

    The structural integrity of bacterial biofilms is strengthened by the action of bacterial DNABII proteins that drive the accumulation of extracellular, nuclease-resistant Z-form DNA and inhibit host neutrophil extracellular trap function.

    New research from scientists at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) demonstrates long-term nanosilver treatment can increase the risk of recurrent infections of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic strains that form biofilms. The scientists show nanosilver kills 99.99% P. aeruginosa in a sample population but the 0.01% cells that persist resume normal growth once the nanoparticle treatment is…

    Author summary Biological evolution is often repeatable in the short-term suggesting the possibility of forecasting and controlling evolutionary outcomes. In addition to its fundamental importance for biology, evolutionary processes are at the core of several major societal problems, including infectious diseases, cancer and adaptation to climate change. Experimental evolution allows study of…
