Kaempferol Inhibits the Primary Attachment Phase of Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus aureus

Kaempferol Inhibits the Primary Attachment Phase of Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus aureus

The ability to form biofilms on surfaces makes Staphylococcus aureus the main pathogenic factor in implanted medical device infections. The aim of this study was to discover a biofilm inhibitor distinct from the antibiotics used to prevent infections resulting from S. aureus biofilms. Here, we descr...
