Caltech researchers have reintroduced a classic technique to image the formation and growth of individual cells that make up biofilms, sticky masses of millions of cells that are often responsible for antibiotic-tolerant infections. The method will help answer longstanding questions about how biofilms behave, offering insights that have the potential to help combat them in the context of chronic infections. The research was conducted in the laboratory of Dianne Newman , the Gordon M. Binder/
