Otopathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains as Competent Biofilm Formers
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common cholesteatoma pathogen, known to form biofilms in other chronic infections, is capable of contributing to biofilm formation in cholesteatoma. DESIGN: We tested 12 OPPA isolates for several aspects of biofilm formation, including adherence to human keratinocytes, expression of quorum-sensing genes, twitching motility, and production of extracellular...
