Bacteriophage cocktail can effectively disrupt Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms on medical equipment
In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated whether a cocktail of bacteriophages coding for the depolymerase polysaccharide could effectively disrupt Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms.
