2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is a ubiquitous oligosaccharide in human milk Importantly, this carbohydrate promotes the growth of several strains of Bifidobacteria, a class of beneficial gut commensal, and inhibits epithelial binding of pathogens. In light of these protective effects, we elected to evaluate the potential of 2'-FL to serve as an antibacterial agent against Group B Streptococcus (GBS). While 2'-FL was devoid of any substantial antimicrobial or antibiofilm activity, conversion of 2'-FL to its reducing end beta-amine provided a novel antibiofilm compound.
