12-15-21. Congratulations to Pedro Mendes on a new publication, Understanding Lactobacillus paracasei
and Streptococcus oralis biofilm interactions through agent-based modeling, published in mSphere 6:e0087521. Along with other UConn Health investigators, they studied the interactions between two bacterial species that form biofilms in the oral cavity. The research combined experiments and agent-based simulations to understand the mechanism of interaction.
