Current models of biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa propose that (i) planktonic
cells become surface associated in a monolayer,(ii) surface-associated cells form …

Biofilms are structured communities found associated with a wide range of surfaces. Here
we report the identification of a three-component regulatory system required for biofilm …

Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is hypothesized to follow a developmental
pattern initiated by attachment to a surface followed by microcolony formation and mature …

The formation of complex bacterial communities known as biofilms begins with the
interaction of planktonic cells with a surface in response to appropriate environmental …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms diverse matrix‐enclosed surface‐associated multicellular
assemblages (biofilms) that aid in its survival in a variety of environments. One such biofilm …

The establishment of bacterial biofilms on surfaces is a complex process that requires
various factors for each consecutive developmental step. Here we report the screening of …

Mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms form complex three-dimensional architecture and
are tolerant of antibiotics and other antimicrobial compounds. In this work, an in vivo …

Mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms undergo specific developmental events. Using a
bacteriophage mutant, generated by deletion of the entire filamentous Pf4 prophage, we …

Recent studies have indicated that biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
play a role both in maintaining channels between multicellular structures in biofilms and in …

Detailed knowledge of the developmental process from single cells scattered on a surface to
complex multicellular biofilm structures is essential in order to create strategies to control …
