When a foreign object such as a catheter enters the body, bacteria may not only invade it but also organize into a slick coating - a biofilm - that is highly resistant to antibiotics. Like sophisticated organized crime rings, biofilms cannot be defeated by a basic approach of conventional means.

New research led by biologists at Brown University provides exactly that dossier on some key proteins in the iconic bacterium E. coli.
