Bacteriophage-driven inhibition of biofilm formation in Staphylococcus strains from patients attending a Romanian reference center for infectious diseases

The increasing burden of invasive biofilm-related staphylococcal infections has led to a dire need for new agents to prevent biofilm formation. Bacteriophages may hypothetically alter a biofilm through several mechanisms, including induction of depolymerizing enzymes and lysis of persistent bacteria...
