  • Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens-including hospital bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa-to assemble antibiotic-resistant three-dimensional (3D) biofilms. These findings open a new avenue for developing therapies against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections by targeting the biofilm assembly. The work is published in the journal Nature Communications.
