The roles of biofilm matrix polysaccharide Psl in mucoid<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>biofilms

6 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes life-threatening, persistent infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Persistence is attributed to the ability of these bacteria to form structured communities (biofilms). Biofilms rely on an extracellular polymeric substances matrix to maintain structure. Psl exopolysaccharide is a key matrix component of nonmucoid biofilms, yet the role of Psl in...
