Periodically Disturbing the Spatial Structure of Biofilms Can Affect the Production of an Essential Virulence Factor in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
Abstract
Virulence factors are required to cause infections. Previous work has shown that the spatial organization of a population, such as a biofilm, can increase the production of some virulence factors, including pyoverdine, which is produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
