Involvement of stress-related genes polB and PA14_46880 in biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract excerpt

Chronic infections of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are generally established through production of biofilm. During biofilm formation, production of an extracellular matrix and establishment of a distinct bacterial phenotype make these infections difficult to eradicate. However, biofilm studies have been hampered by the fact that most assays utilize nonliving surfaces as biofilm attachment substrates. In an attempt to...
