Abstract excerpt
Bacterial cells detached from Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms are found to release predominantly as small oblate clusters (∼1.9 µm) in both untreated biofilms and biofilms treated with matrix-targeted disruptors. Quantitative image analysis common to colloidal science was applied to quantitatively evaluate the physical properties of 9147 bacterial clusters detached from S. epidermidis biofilms with and...
