Characterization of Distinct Biofilm Cell Subpopulations and Implications in Quorum Sensing and Antibiotic Resistance

ABSTRACT Bacteria change phenotypically in response to their environment. Free swimming cells transition to biofilm communities that promote cellular cooperativity and resistance to stressors and antibiotics. We uncovered three subpopulations of cells with diverse phenotypes from a single-species Ps...
