Nitric Oxide-Mediated Induction of Dispersal in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms Is Inhibited by Flavohemoglobin Production and Is Enhanced by Imidazole.

abstract：:We showed in a previous study that associations of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are key components of the innate immune systems of all living species, with the fluoroquinolone enrofloxacin can successfully cure HeLa cell cultures of Mycoplasma fermentans and M. hyorhinis contamination. In the present work, the...
