Vibrio cholerae biofilms use modular adhesins with glycan-targeting and nonspecific surface binding domains for colonization

Vibrio cholerae biofilms use modular adhesins with glycan-targeting and nonspecific surface binding domains for colonization

Abstract Bacterial biofilms are formed on environmental surfaces and host tissues, and facilitate host colonization and antibiotic resistance by human pathogens. Bacteria often express multiple adhesive proteins (adhesins), but it is often unclear whether adhesins have specialized or redundant roles...
