Structure of a key adhesin-exopolysaccharide interaction provides insights into matrix assembly in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> biofilms
2026-08-04
Abstract excerpt
Biofilms serve as a protective mechanism for bacteria, including many pathogens. To form such communities, bacteria secrete macromolecules that form an extracellular matrix serving as a barrier against environmental threats, such as predation, antibiotics, and the host immune system.
