Abstract excerpt
Polymicrobial biofilms are frequently associated with chronic infections and are highly tolerant to antibiotic treatment. Given that β-lactam antibiotics are the most prescribed antibiotics worldwide, we investigated β-lactam resistance in dual-species biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Compared to monocultures, MSSA exhibited reduced...
