Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.
