Tolerance and Persistence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Biofilms Exposed to Antibiotics: Molecular Mechanisms, Antibiotic Strategies and Therapeutic Perspectives

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm-related infections are difficult to treat with antibiotics. Along the different layers of the biofilm, the P. aeruginosa population is heterogeneous, exhibiting an extreme ability to adapt his metabolic activity to the local microenvironment. At the deepest layers of t...
