Filaments in curved streamlines: rapid formation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm streamers
Biofilms are surface-associated conglomerates of bacteria that are highly resistant to antibiotics. These bacterial communities can cause chronic infections in humans by colonizing, for example, medical implants, heart valves, or lungs. Staphylococcus aureus , a notorious human pathogen, causes some...
