Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium fortuitum has emerged as a nosocomial infectious agent and biofilm formation attributed for the presence of this bacterium in hospital environment. Transposon random mutagenesis was used to identify membrane-proteins for biofilm formation in M. fortuitum. Ten mutants were shortlisted from a library of 450 mutants for examine their biofilm forming ability. Comparative biofilm ability with respect to...
