Nano- and Macroscale Imaging of Cholesterol Linoleate and Human Beta Defensin 2-Induced Changes in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Biofilms

Nano- and Macroscale Imaging of Cholesterol Linoleate and Human Beta Defensin 2-Induced Changes in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Biofilms

The biofilm production of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (PA) is central to establishing chronic infection in the airways in cystic fibrosis. Epithelial cells secrete an array of innate immune factors, including antimicrobial proteins and lipids, such as human beta defensin 2 (HBD2) and c...
