A genetic screen identifies a role for <i>oprF</i> in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> biofilm stimulation by subinhibitory antibiotics
2023-09-05
Abstract excerpt
Biofilms are surface-associated communities of bacteria that grow in a self-produced matrix of polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular DNA (eDNA). Sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of antibiotics induce biofilm formation, indicating a potential defensive response to antibiotic stress. However, the mechanisms behind sub-MIC antibiotic-induced biofilm formation are unclear. We show that treatment...
