Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the contribution of multidrug efflux pump systems of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to the formation of a competent biofilm. METHODS: Biofilm formation by a wild-type strain and 10 efflux mutant strains was quantified using crystal violet biofilm assays and visualized using scanning electron microscopy. Curli expression was investigated qualitatively and quantitatively by...
