METHODS OF INHIBITING AND TREATING BACTERIAL BIOFILMS BY METAL CHELATORS
摘要
The invention presented herein provides methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. The methods are based on the discovery that depletion of bioavailable iron stimulates surface motility in bacteria thus inhibiting the ability of a bacterial population to develop into a biofilm.
