O-Specific Antigen-Dependent Surface Hydrophobicity Mediates Aggregate Assembly Type in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content>

ABSTRACT Bacteria live in spatially organized aggregates during chronic infections, where they adapt to the host environment, evade immune responses, and resist therapeutic interventions. Although it is known that environmental factors such as polymers influence bacterial aggregation, it is not clea...
