Detection and quantification of bacterial biofilms combining high-frequency acoustic microscopy and targeted lipid microparticles

BACKGROUND: Immuno-compromised patients such as those undergoing cancer chemotherapy are susceptible to bacterial infections leading to biofilm matrix formation. This surrounding biofilm matrix acts as a diffusion barrier that binds up antibiotics and antibodies, promoting resistance to treatment. D...
