Multiple Factors Modulate Biofilm Formation by the Anaerobic Pathogen Clostridium difficile
21 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria within biofilms are protected from multiple stresses, including immune responses and antimicrobial agents. The biofilm-forming ability of bacterial pathogens has been associated with increased antibiotic resistance and chronic recurrent infections. Although biofilms have been well studied for several gut pathogens, little is known about biofilm formation by anaerobic gut species. The obligate anaerobe...
