The Effect of Environmental Conditions on Biofilm Formation of Burkholderia pseudomallei Clinical Isolates
6 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a Gram-negative saprophytic bacterium, is the causative agent of the potentially fatal melioidosis disease in humans. In this study, environmental parameters including temperature, nutrient content, pH and the presence of glucose were shown to play a role in in vitro biofilm formation by 28 B. pseudomallei clinical isolates, including four isolates with large colony variants (LCVs) and...
