  Author(s): Amina M and Ahmed BAmina M and Ahmed B
  
  Knowledge about the biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance are resulting in identification of new targets for therapeutics against Pseudomonas infection. These one generally persist despite the use of long term antibiotic therapy. The ability of growing within a biofilm enhances their chances to protect themselves from host defenses, antibiotic therapies, and biocides. A necessary first step towards understanding the susceptibility of biofilms to antibiotics is to understand the mechanisms by which motility behavior is involved. To our knowledge, few studies had been undertaken to compare the implication of swimming-swarming and biofilm in antibiotics resistance. The relationship between these formations is debated in some Pseudomonas species literature. It should be noted that P. aeruginosa has been wellstudied as a model organism for the study of these interactions. By contrast.. Read More»
