Variation of Antigen 43 self-association modulates bacterial compacting within aggregates and biofilms

Abstract The formation of aggregates and biofilms enhances bacterial colonisation and infection progression by affording protection from antibiotics and host immune factors. Despite these advantages there is a trade-off, whereby bacterial dissemination is reduced. As such, biofilm development needs...
