Nanoparticle-Based Disruption of Biofilms: A Novel Strategy to Counteract Antibiotic Resistance

Lay Description

The importance of this work stems from the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, which has led to an increase in untreatable bacterial infections. This highlights the urgent need for alternative treatments, especially for biofilm-associated infections, that can prevent further resistance development.
