Epigallocatechin gallate remodels overexpressed functional amyloids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Increases biofilm susceptibility to antibiotic treatment
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major polyphenol in green tea. It has antimicrobial properties and disrupts the ordered structure of amyloid fibrils involved in human disease. The antimicrobial effect of EGCG against the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to involv...
