Researchers tackle biofilm to make salmonella infection less aggressive

Posted on by
  • Biology researchers at Haifa’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology say they may have found a way to make salmonella bacterial infections less aggressive by inhibiting the formation of biofilm
  • In their work, the researchers decided not to tackle the bacterium itself, but the biofilm – the resilient layer that protects bacteria from substances that pose a danger to them, including antibiotic drugs
  • The research is being carried out in collaboration with the Institute for Complex Systems in Jülich and in Düsseldorf, Germany
