Decoding interactions between biofilms and DNA nanoparticles by Alexandra Sousa, Rutuparna Kulkarni, Mona Johannessen, Thorsten Wohland, Nataša Škalko-Basnet, Sybil Obuobi

“…While various nanoparticles (NPs) have been reported for this purpose, DNA-based NPs remain a largely unexploited resource against biofilm-associated infections. To fill this gap and to lay the groundwork for their potential therapeutic exploitation, we investigated the diffusion, penetration, and retention behaviors of three DNA-based nanocarriers —plain or modified—within P. aeruginosa biofilms. …”
