Antibiotic resistance is an enormous public health problem. The prevalence of superbugs is increasing over time, whereas the number of drugs available to treat these microbes is not. Bacterial communities called biofilms harbor strains of bacteria that persist in the face of antibiotic therapy. Thus, in order to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance, we must better understand biofilms. In this episode, Kellen covers a recent report on this topic by Fransisco Diaz-Pascual and colleagues titled, “Breakdown of Vibrio cholerae biofilm architecture induced by antibiotics disrupts community barrier function”.Paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31659297Review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31295420Please take a few minutes to write us a review wherever you listen to podcasts -- it will help us better spread science!Want to learn more?
