Medical biofilms are a significant problem in chronic diseases like diabetic ulcers that do not heal, infections of medical devices and CF. The extracellular polymeric matrix is a barrier to antibiotic penetration. In search of an alternative, approaches based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and enzymes have been deve...
