Implication

This review highlights the potential of fungal metabolites in combating bacterial biofilms, suggesting an urgent need for novel anti-biofilm compounds.

Key Points

Fungal metabolites show promise against bacterial biofilms, addressing a critical gap in antibiotic resistance management.
Between 40-80% of bacterial biofilms contribute to antibiotic resistance, making their study crucial for public health outcomes.
Marine-derived fungi could yield undiscovered anti-biofilm compounds, as highlighted by limited current research.
Various strategies, like media optimization and metabolic engineering, are being explored to enhance the production of anti-biofilm fungal metabolites.
