Molecular Mechanisms of Chlorhexidine Tolerance in Burkholderia cenocepacia Biofilms
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
The high tolerance of biofilm-grown Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria against antimicrobial agents presents considerable problems for the treatment of infected cystic fibrosis patients and the implementation of infection control guidelines. In the present study, we analyzed the tolerance of planktonic and sessile Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 cultures and examined the transcriptional response of sessile...
