Description
Satoka Matsumoto and co-authors grow resin nanopillars modeled on cicada wings and test how pillar height and wetness steer biofilm growth of staph bacteria, in work from twenty twenty-four. Wing spikes kill bacteria by pure physical contact, a trick that could dodge chemical resistance. Biofilm infections keep rising.
Pillars from one hundred to five hundred nanometers tall faced three staph strains, including a drug resistant one. The resistant strain was blocked most, with growth cut by half to nearly two thirds. A drug sensitive strain yielded only to shorter, less water shy pillars. A skin strain shrugged off every surface. Tuning height thus picks which bacteria get blocked, the authors note.
