Surface acoustic waves increase the susceptibility of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>biofilms to antibiotic treatment

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial urinary tract infections resulting from prolonged patient catheterization have become a major health problem. One of the major issues is bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatments due to biofilm formation inside the catheters, thus enhancing the search for alternative treatments. In the present study, a device containing a piezo element capable of transmitting low-frequency surface acoustic waves...
