Article Synopsis
- Biofilm formation in tuberculosis complicates treatment by protecting bacteria from antibiotics, leading to persistent infections.
- This study shows that rifampicin-encapsulated silk fibroin nanoparticles, combined with antibiofilm enzymes, can effectively disrupt Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilms, enhancing the antibiotic's effectiveness.
- The research identifies specific hydrolytic enzymes that reduce biofilm thickness significantly and emphasizes the potential of combining these enzymes with antibiotics to improve tuberculosis treatment outcomes.
