Contribution of Drugs Interfering with Protein and Cell Wall Synthesis to the Persistence of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Biofilms: An In Vitro Model

Contribution of Drugs Interfering with Protein and Cell Wall Synthesis to the Persistence of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Biofilms: An In Vitro Model

The occurrence of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (PA) persisters, including viable but non-culturable (VBNC) forms, subpopulations of tolerant cells that can survive high antibiotic doses, is the main reason for PA lung infections failed eradication and recurrence in Cystic Fibrosis (CF)...
