The treatment of bacterial diseases is facing twin threats, with increasing bacterial antibiotic
resistance and relatively few novel compounds or strategies under development or entering …

We report an approach to preventing bacterial biofilm formation that is based on the surface‐
mediated release of 5, 6‐dimethyl‐2‐aminobenzimidazole (DMABI), a potent and non …

Biofilm-forming bacteria may be 10–1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic
bacteria and represent about 75% of bacterial infections in humans. Antibiofilm treatments …

Biofilms are complex microbial communities formed by the attachment of bacteria or fungi to
surfaces encased in a self-produced polymeric matrix. These biofilms are highly resistant to …
