Substrate stiffness impacts early biofilm formation by modulating <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> twitching motility

2022-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Surface-associated lifestyles dominate in the bacterial world. Large multicellular assemblies, called biofilms, are essential to the survival of bacteria in harsh environments, and are closely linked to antibiotic resistance in pathogenic strains. Biofilms stem from the surface colonization of a wide variety of substrates encountered by bacteria, from living tissues to inert materials. Here, we...
