Article Synopsis
- Bacteria have developed various resistance mechanisms to counteract antibiotic treatments, including forming biofilms with inactive persister cells that are hard to kill.*
-
- New synthetic methods have been created to produce fluorine-containing halogenated phenazine and acridine compounds that show strong antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria and biofilms.*
-
- These compounds can trigger specific genetic responses related to iron uptake in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms, suggesting they work by depriving the bacteria of iron, potentially revolutionizing treatments for difficult infections.*
