Anomalous diffusion of nanoparticles in the spatially heterogeneous biofilm environment

Nanoparticles are often suggested as a novel antimicrobial delivery strategy. Most of literature has focused on optimalisation of the chemical functionalization of nanoparticles, to improve nanoparticle penetration and antimicrobial efficacy in biofilms. In this work, Tom explored the effect of the biofilm architecture on the efficiency and efficacy on nanoparticle penetration.
