Exploring the Inhibition of Quorum Sensing-Controlled Biofilm Formation

INVESTIGATOR: Susan Meschwitz, Salve Regina University THEME: Environmental Health Sciences ABSTRACT: Traditional therapeutics to treat bacterial infections have given rise to multi-drug resistant pathogens, which pose a major threat to human and environmental health. Many bacteria found in the environment and in chronic infections exist in highly structured multi-cellular communities known as biofilms, and the […]
