Dual-Action Antibacterial Agents Targeting Biofilm Reduction and Membrane Disruption in Staphylococcus aureus

A journal article published by the University of Alkafeel reports development of antibacterial compounds that reduce biofilms and disrupt membranes of Staphylococcus aureus. The source record lists the publication date as 2026-06-16 and identifies the item as a journal article.

Four Aspergillus colonies grown at 37°C for three days on rich media. Clockwise from top-left: an Aspergillus nidulans laboratory strain; a similar strain with a mutation in the yA marker gene involved in green pigmentation; an Aspergillus oryzae strain used in soy fermentation; the Aspergillus oryzae strain that had its genome sequenced, RIB40. Background is black card. Originally scanned 20 Aug 2008.
