Steven D. Goodman

Steven D. Goodman studies how bacteria form biofilms—structured communities of microorganisms that stick to surfaces like teeth or medical devices and can resist treatment—with particular attention to oral and respiratory pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans. His work also explores potential new anti-biofilm therapies, including proteins that can help break up these bacterial communities. This research is relevant to understanding infections like periodontal disease and pneumonia, and to developing treatments that target biofilm-related bacterial resistance.

Publication output has remained low and fairly steady over the last decade, generally ranging from 0 to 3 papers per year with no clear upward or downward trend.
