Perspective: The viscoelastic properties of biofilm infections and mechanical interactions with phagocytic immune cells

Biofilms are viscoelastic materials that are a prominent public health problem and a cause of most chronic bacterial infections, in large part due to their resistance to clearance by the immune system. Viscoelastic materials combine both solid-like and fluid-like mechanics, and the viscoelastic prop...
