Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the mucA gene sequence, biofilm formation, growth rate and antibiotic resistance of a mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 'PA17' with those of the nonmucoid strain PAOI. METHODS: The mucA genes of PA17 and PAOI were amplified and the PCR products were sequenced. Biofilm was established and detected with scanning electron microscope 8 h, 24 h, 3 d and 6 d later. Clones counting method was...
