Bursting out: linking changes in nanotopography and biomechanical properties of biofilm-forming Escherichia coli to the T4 lytic cycle
The bacteriophage infection cycle has been extensively studied, yet little is known about the
nanostructure and mechanical changes that lead to bacterial lysis. Here, atomic force …
