Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can disrupt extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in bacterial biofilms, which help protect bacteria from treatments.
- Researchers used microscopy techniques to observe NAC's effects on single cells and early biofilms of the Xylella fastidiosa bacteria.
- The findings suggest that NAC significantly alters both soluble and tightly bound EPS, enhancing bacterial mobility and potentially aiding in the treatment of bacterial infections.
