Which Microorganisms Are Known to Have Biofilms? Many different microorganisms have biofilms. I’m not going to list all of them here, but some of the more common ones include H. pylori,[54],[55],[56] Borrelia burgdorferi,[57] Yersinia enterocolitica,[58] Escherichia coli,[59],[60] Klebsiella pneumoniae,[61] Mycoplasma,[62],[63],[64] and Candida albicans.[65],[66],[67],[68] You’ll notice that some of these were mentioned earlier as being associated with Hashimoto’s. Natural Agents That Can Disrupt Biofilm A few different natural agents have been shown to dissolve the biofilm matrix. This includes N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which not only can increase glutathione, but can also reduce and prevent biofilm formation.[69],[70],[71],[72] Some studies specifically show that NAC can inhibit biofilm formation by H. pylori[73] and Candida albicans.[74]
Proteolytic enzymes, which break down proteins, can help to degrade biofilm when taken on an empty stomach.[75],[76],[77] Examples of proteolytic enzymes include serratiopeptidase, endopeptidase, and exopeptidase.
