Inoculum Concentration Influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phenotype and Biofilm Architecture
ABSTRACT In infections, bacterial cells are often found as relatively small multicellular aggregates characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of phenotype, genotype, and growth rates depending on their surrounding microenvironment. Many laboratory models fail to mimic these characteristics, and...
