A Pilot Study on the Effect of In Vitro-Induced Antibiotic Resistance on Biofilm Formation by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Biofilm formation by uropathogenic Escherichia coli contributes to antibiotic resistance and the persistence of urinary tract infections. Whether biofilm formation is an intrinsic characteristic of UPEC or an adaptive response to antibiotic stress remains unclear, as does whether such adaptation is a generalized respon...
