Specific Disruption of Established Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms Using Polymer-Attacking Enzymes

Biofilms are communities of bacteria embedded in a polymeric matrix which are found in infections and in environments outside the body. Breaking down the matrix renders biofilms more susceptible to physical disruption and to treatments such as antibiotics. Different species of bacteria, and differen...
