Antibiofilm polysaccharides [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2012 SummaryBacterial extracellular polysaccharides have been shown to mediate many of the cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐surface interactions that are required for the formation, cohesion and stabilization of bacterial biofilms. However, recent studies have identified several bacterial polysaccharides that inhibit biofilm formation by a wide spectrum of bacteria
