OXAZABOROLIDINES TO CONTROL BACTERIAL ACTIVITY

摘要

A method for controlling bacterial activity without antibiotics by interference with their communication process has been developed by Adel Jabbour,researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem(Israel).Most human and animal diseases are associated with bacteria that are assembled in "communities," called biofilms,that attach themselves to many surfaces,such as live tissues,implants and teeth.Biofilms can also be found on artificial surfaces such as water pipes or air-conditioning ducts.
