Exploration for Thermostable β-Amylase of a Bacillus sp. Isolated from Compost Soil to Degrade Bacterial Biofilm

Abstract

More than 85% of nosocomial infections are due to the development of bacterial biofilms. Recent research proposed that biofilm-like structures are not only visible in autopsies, biopsies, patients with chronic wounds, and exudates in animal models but are also present in biomedical devices, implants, prosthetic valves, urinary catheters, etc.
