    DISRUPT: Fighting antimicrobial-resistant infections by high-throughput discovery of biofilm-disrupting agents and mechanisms
    We search for new substances that can be applied against the formation of bacterial communities (so-called biofilms). These substances could prevent many infections with antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-tolerant pathogens.
