Klebsiella pneumoniae AI-2 transporters mediate interspecies interactions and composition in a three-species biofilm community

Abstract Biofilms in nature often exist as communities. In this study, an experimental mixed-species community consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas protegens and Klebsiella pneumoniae was used to investigate how AI-2 transporters affect interspecies interactions and composition. The K....
