The Power of Unity: Bacteria's Invincibility

Bacteria often form biofilms, slimy aggregates held together by DNA and proteins, which make them highly resistant to antibiotics and immune cells. Biofilms are responsible for 60% of human bacterial infections and can cause significant economic burdens. Researchers are exploring various strategies to combat biofilms, including the use of bacteriophages, cold plasma, and DNABII-targeting antibodies. These approaches show promise in disrupting biofilms and restoring vulnerability to antibiotics, potentially revolutionizing treatment options for bacterial infections.
