The Role of the Insulin/Glucose Ratio in the Regulation of Pathogen Biofilm Formation
During the management of patients in acute trauma the resulting transient hyperglycemia is treated by administration of insulin. Since the effect of insulin, a quorum sensing compound, together with glucose affects biofilm formation in a concentration-specific manner, we hypothesize that the insulin...
