Differences between Pseudomonas aeruginosa non-adapted and adapted to benzalkonium chloride : comparison of adhesion capacity, and susceptibility of biofilms to removal and surfactant attack

Bacteria adhesion, and consequent biofilm formation, in vitro and in vivo, are phenomena that often occur naturally but are also bacteria´s strategies to protect themselves from stress factors, playing probably an important role in virulence. Furthermore, bacteria growing in biofilms are less suscep...
