Understanding Charged Species Transport in Bacterial Biofilms via Modelling, Experiments and Simulations

None

It is estimated that worldwide, there are 100,000 people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), a genetic-disease which reduces lung function and has historically led to significantly decreased healthspans. Chronic lung infections of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in pwCF are tied with worse health outcomes, and often present as biofilms, a mode of bacterial life which can confer antibiotic […]
