Pepsin and Trypsin Treatment Combined with Carvacrol: An Efficient Strategy to Fight <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Biofilms

Pepsin and Trypsin Treatment Combined with Carvacrol: An Efficient Strategy to Fight <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Biofilms

Biofilms consist of microbial communities enclosed in a self-produced extracellular matrix which is mainly responsible of biofilm virulence. Targeting this matrix could be an effective strategy to control biofilms. In this work, we examined the efficacy of two proteolytic enzymes, pepsin and trypsin...
