Dispersal of Epithelium-Associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms

During chronic lung infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa grows in highly antibiotic-tolerant communities called biofilms that are difficult for the host to clear. We have developed models for studying P. aeruginosa biofilm dispersal in environments that replicate key features of the airway. We found t...
