Abstract excerpt
Aeromonas hydrophila is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen that readily attaches to stainless steel to produce a thin biofilm with a complex 3D structure covering 40-50% of the available surface and producing large microcolonies. As A. hydrophila possesses an N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-dependent quorum-sensing system based on the ahyRI locus, the presence of the AhyI protein and C4-HSL within the biofilm...
