Dendrimers and polyamino-phenolic ligands: activity of new molecules against Legionella pneumophila biofilms.
Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila, an aquatic bacterium often found within the biofilm niche. In man-made water systems microbial biofilms increase the resistance of legionella to disinfection, posing a significant threat to public health. Disinf...
