Genetic dissection of an exogenously induced biofilm in laboratory and clinical isolates of E. coli.

Microbial biofilms are a dominant feature of many human infections. However, developing effective strategies for controlling biofilms requires an understanding of the underlying biology well beyond what currently exists. Using a novel strategy, we have induced formation of a robust biofilm in Escher...
