Device simulates natural conditions to grow biofilms and test their antibiotic susceptibility more accurately
Biofilms are complex microbial communities that adhere to a surface and encase themselves in a viscous matrix they produce. This structure protects bacteria from antibiotics and the immune system far more effectively than if they lived in a free-floating state, making biofilms on
