Biofilms of a Bacillus subtilis hospital isolate protect Staphylococcus aureus from biocide action.

Biofilms of a Bacillus subtilis hospital isolate protect Staphylococcus aureus from biocide action.

The development of a biofilm constitutes a survival strategy by providing bacteria a protective environment safe from stresses such as microbicide action and can thus lead to important health-care problems. In this study, biofilm resistance of a Bacillus subtilis strain (called hereafter ND(medical)...
