Just say NO to biofilms: NO‐donors are used to disperse a bacterialbiofilm so that co‐administered antibiotics will kill the more susceptible unattached cells. The chemically stable cephalosporin‐3′‐diazeniumdiolate NO‐donor prodrug (see scheme) is activated by bacterial β‐lactamases and facilitates this two‐step biofilm erradication.
