Biofilms of the non-tuberculous Mycobacterium chelonae form an extracellular matrix and display distinct expression patterns

Mycobacterium chelonae is an environmental, non-tuberculous mycobacterial species, capable of causing infections in humans. Biofilm formation is a key strategy used by M. chelonae in colonising niches in the environment and in the host. We studied a water-air interface (pellicle) biofilm of M. chelo...
