Fungal Glycoside Hydrolases Display Unique Specificities for Polysaccharides and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Biofilms

Commercially available cellulases and amylases can disperse the pathogenic bacteria embedded in biofilms. This suggests that polysaccharide-degrading enzymes would be useful as antibacterial therapies to aid the treatment of biofilm-associated bacteria, e.g., in chronic wounds. Using a published enz...
