  • Demonstration of s. aureus biofilm structures and in the presence of anti-a-sheet peptide

Designed a-sheet peptides suppress amyloid formation in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms

The researchers have designed small proteins that can inhibit the formation of biofilms, common sources of infection for hundreds of patients worldwide, especially with those who have implanted medical devices. Their designed anti-a-sheet peptides suppressed the formation of biofilm in S. aureus, a bacteria resistant to many drugs, by about half, and prevented aggregation of infectious proteins through their binding mechanism.
