Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important pathogen in cystic fibrosis patients and forms biofilms in the lung. P. aeruginosa strains isolated from the lungs of the patients have a mucoid phenotype overproducing alginate. The phenotype forms highly structured biofilms which are more resistant to antibiotics than biofilms formed by its nonmucoid phenotype. Conversion to the alginate-overproducing phenotype...
