Key findings🧑‍🔬🧪: - Cyclic loading affects biofilm viability differently across materials. -Composites and hydroxyapatite render diffrent microbiome population -Antimicrobial composites show promise in controlling biofilm without disrupting species abundance.

This remarkable fungus has a clever way of detecting the repetitive stretching of biomaterial surfaces, triggering infection modes as a result 🍄🔍. We expect to understand this novel mechanism to help deter fungal infections.
