The antifungal caspofungin increases fluoroquinolone activity against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms by inhibiting N-acetylglucosamine transferase

Biofilms formed byStaphylococcus aureus are poorly responsive to antibiotics. Here, Siala et al. show that an antifungal drug (caspofungin) enhances the activity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics against S. aureus biofilms by inhibiting an enzyme involved in synthesis of the biofilm matrix.
