Respiratory Heterogeneity Shapes Biofilm Formation and Host Colonization in Uropathogenic <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Biofilms are multicellular bacterial communities encased in a self-secreted extracellular matrix comprised of polysaccharides, proteinaceous fibers, and DNA. Organization of these components lends spatial organization to the biofilm community such that biofilm residents can benefit from the...
