Characterization of multispecies biofilms by peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH)

Our current understanding of biofilms in the environment and in health indicates that these structures are typically composed of many different microbial species. However, the lack of reliable techniques for the quantification, visualization and discrimination of each population has meant that studi...
