Effect of ampicillin and chloramphenicol against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.

abstract：:The biological signal molecule nitric oxide (NO) was found to induce biofilm dispersal across a range of bacterial species, which led to its consideration for therapeutic strategies to treat biofilms and biofilm-related infections. However, biofilms are often not completely dispersed after exposure to NO. To better un...
