Social Behavior of Antibiotic Resistant Mutants Within Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Communities
The complex spatial structure and the heterogeneity within biofilms lead to the emergence of specific social behaviors. However, the impact of resistant mutants within bacterial communities is still mostly unknown. Thus, we determined whether antibiotic resistant mutants display selfish or altruisti...
