Competition quenching strategies reduce antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial biofilms
Abstract Bacteria typically live in dense communities where they are surrounded by other species and compete for a limited amount of resources. These competitive interactions can induce defensive responses that also protect against antimicrobials, potentially complicating the antimicrobial treatment...
