A team of scientists has made a breakthrough in the fight against bacterial biofilms. Biofilms are colonies of bacteria that are often resistant to antibiotics and can cause serious infections. The team developed peptides, which are small molecules, that can effectively break down the biofilms and inhibit their growth. This finding could lead to new treatments for bacterial biofilm infections and could help reduce the rise of antibiotic resistance. The study was published in Nature Communications.
