The carbon monoxide releasing molecule CORM-2 attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation.

The carbon monoxide releasing molecule CORM-2 attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation.

Chronic infections resulting from biofilm formation are difficult to eradicate with current antimicrobial agents and consequently new therapies are needed. This work demonstrates that the carbon monoxide-releasing molecule CORM-2, previously shown to kill planktonic bacteria, also attenuates surface...
