Biofilm: A Hotspot for Emerging Bacterial Genotypes.

Advances in applied microbiology - 1 Jan 2018

Nesse Live L, Simm Roger

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria have the ability to adapt to changing environments through rapid evolution mediated by modification of existing genetic information, as well as by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This makes bacteria a highly successful life form when it comes to survival. Unfortunately, this genetic plasticity may result in emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, and even the creation...
