Broad-Spectrum Adaptive Antibiotic Resistance Associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mucin-Dependent Surfing Motility

Abstract excerpt

Surfing motility is a novel form of surface adaptation exhibited by the nosocomial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of the glycoprotein mucin, which is found in high abundance at mucosal surfaces, especially those of the lungs of cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis patients. Here, we investigated the adaptive antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa under conditions in which surfing occurs compared...
