exploring potential strategies that may prove useful
in eliminating these infections, including strategies
to induce the dissolution of biofilms and the use of
low-energy surface acoustic waves to disrupt biofilm formation. Research is under way to investigate
drugs that target biofilm-specific enzymatic activity
and promote dispersion signals to break up biofilms
to increase susceptibility to antimicrobial therapy.1,9
