Treatment with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Glycoside Hydrolase PslG Combats Wound Infection by Improving Antibiotic Efficacy and Host Innate Immune Activity.

is an opportunistic, nosocomial bacterial pathogen that forms persistent infections due to the formation of protective communities, known as biofilms. Once the biofilm is formed, the bacteria embedded within it are recalcitrant to antimicrobial treatment and host immune defenses. Moreover, the presence of biofilms in wounds is correlated with chronic infection and delayed healing.
