1. A method for inhibiting, competing or titrating the binding of a deoxyribonucleic acid B II (DNABII) polypeptide to a microbial DNA in a biofilm, comprising contacting the microbial DNA in the biofilm with an effective amount of an isolated or recombinant polypeptide comprising a modified high mobility group-box 1 domain comprising C45S thereby inhibiting, competing or titrating the binding of the DNABII polypeptide to the microbial DNA.
