Abstract: Biofilm formation conferring pathogenicity is a survival strategy for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa’s virulence may differ due to differences in host-microbe interactions and the growth environment. The epithelial cell line within the respiratory system and… read more here.

Abstract: Mucoid bacteria, predominately Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are commonly associated with decline in pulmonary function in children with cystic fibrosis (CF), and are thought to persist at least in part due to a greater propensity toward forming… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/idr.s230178
Abstract: Background Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen of critical importance due to the increasing numbers of antibiotic-resistant isolates. Colonies can have a smooth or matt appearance, but also exhibit slimy, mucoid growth, with the latter… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1125901
Abstract: Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known for its ability to form biofilms, which are dependent on the production of exopolysaccharides. During chronic colonization of the airway and biofilm formation, P. aeruginosa converts to a mucoid phenotype,… read more here.
