A "living medicine" has thinned biofilms of antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the lungs of pigs, according to the findings of a study published in the journal eBioMedicine. The experimental treatment involves inhaling a genetically modified bacterium designed to target layers of drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa that grow on the surfaces of endotracheal tubes used in hospitals.
