TL;DR: Determination of phenotypic differences between isolates in an attempt to understand variability in plasma tolerance revealed that isolates which are highly tolerant to APNTP typically produce biofilms of greater biomass than their more sensitive counterparts, indicating a potential role for biofilm matrix components in biofilm tolerance toAPNTP exposure.

TL;DR: The role of biomass is described in mediating A. baumannii biofilm susceptibility to cold plasma treatment, implicating the biofilm matrix as a protective barrier to the antimicrobial effects of cold plasma.

TL;DR: The role of microbial biofilms in infection, and the antimicrobial chemical diversity of marine macroalgae and their associated microbiomes are reviewed, offering great potential for the isolation and identification of novel compounds and strategies to counteract the rise and dissemination of AMR.

TL;DR: The depth-resolved pattern of aminolevulinic acid concentration in excised vaginal tissue was determined and it was found that vaginal intraepithelial neoplasias can extend to 2.0 mm from the lesion surface, the ALA permeability derived from a bioadhesive patch is sufficient to induce photosensitization suitable for light induced destruction at deep sites of this type of lesion.

TL;DR: Investigation of the ability of atmospheric pressure plasma to eradicateBiofilms of four biofouling bacterial species, frequently encountered in marine environments, was investigated and showed that plasma treatment has mediated not only cell killing but also varying degrees of physical removal of biofilms.
