Norgestimate inhibits staphylococcal biofilm formation and resensitizes methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to β-lactam antibiotics
Biofilm formation: Benefits of selective inhibition A synthetic molecule related to the hormone progesterone might keep medical devices free of biofilms without promoting antibiotic resistance. Implanted devices that have become contaminated with biofilms generally must be surgically removed prior t...
