Role of the Mycobacterium marinum ESX-1 Secretion System in Sliding Motility and Biofilm Formation
Mycobacterium marinum is a close relative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can cause systemic tuberculosis-like infections in ectotherms and skin infections in humans. Sliding motility correlates with biofilm formation and virulence in most bacteria. In this study, we used a sliding motility assay...
