Magnetic derivatives of PBP10 peptides affect the metabolic activity of antibiotic-resistant bacteria adopting a planktonic pattern of growth and restrict biofilm formation. a–f Indicate activity of PBP10 derivatives against the planktonic form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Xen 5 and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA strain) respectively. Ability to prevent the formation of a biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Xen 5 (g–i) and MRSA (j–l). Statistical significance for the samples treated by peptides in immobilized form compared to the peptide in free form is marked by (*)
