<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> senses and responds to epithelial potassium flux via Kdp operon to promote biofilm biogenesis
2023-06-06
Abstract excerpt
Mucosa-associated biofilms are associated with many human disease states, but the mechanisms by which the host promotes biofilm biogenesis remain unclear. In chronic respiratory diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF), Pseudomonas aeruginosa establishes chronic infection through biofilm formation. P. aeruginosa can be attracted to interspecies biofilms through potassium currents emanating from the biofilms. We hypoth...
