Meningococcal biofilm formation: structure, development and phenotypes in a standardized continuous flow system.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 2006

Lappann Martin, Haagensen Janus A J, Claus Heike, Vogel Ulrich, Molin Søren

Abstract excerpt

We show that in a standardized in vitro flow system unencapsulated variants of genetically diverse lineages of Neisseria meningitidis formed biofilms, that could be maintained for more than 96 h. Biofilm cells were resistant to penicillin, but not to rifampin or ciprofloxacin. For some strains, microcolony formation within biofilms was observed. Microcolony formation in strain MC58 depended on a functional copy...
