I remember them doing a biofilm trial at my clinic a few years ago. I didn't qualify, but obviously there are people who will benefit from identifying antibiotics that works better on not just the single bacterium, but the colony.
As the young girl in the solutions video mentioned, the standard practice is to hit bacterias hard, with everything we have, to preserve lung tissue, the problem being the multiple drug resistant bacterias we are seeing with much more frequency now.
I think the future of wound care and CF is not bigger, badder drugs, but more a more selective approach. One could compare it to the evolution of military weapons. We used to build enormous bombs that could level entire cities. It got the job done, but with huge amounts of collateral damage and cost. Now we can put a smart bomb through a window of a building off a drone which is flown by a pilot sitting halfway across the world. If we are going to win the war with germs, not just in the CF community, but everyone, we are going to have to be smarter about what we treat and how we treat it. I think this kind of approach might be the only thing that saves us from another pandemic that kills a quarter of the population of a continent.
