​Project:              Interference with quorum sensing using a functionalized polymer as an approach of reducing biofilm formation in a number of gram-negative pathogenesis

Bacterial Biofilm can be defined as a complex sessile of a microbial community that has the ability to attach on any surface. Biofilm is particularly a problem in the health care sector which causes significant morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. Bacteria growing as Biofilm are resistance to antibiotics promoting persistent and recurrent infections.

My Ph.D. project will investigate the ability of a functionalized polymer to disrupt biofilm formation of a number of gram-negative pathogens. I am a sponsored student from the government of Saudi Arabia and King Saud University in Riyadh.
