Bacterial capsular polysaccharides with antibiofilm activity share common biophysical and electrokinetic properties

Abstract Bacterial biofilms are surface-attached communities that are difficult to eradicate due to a high tolerance to antimicrobial agents. The use of non-biocidal surface-active compounds to prevent the initial adhesion and aggregation of bacterial pathogens is a promising alternative to antibiot...
