The Bacterial Biofilm Matrix as a Platform for Protein Delivery

ABSTRACT Surface-associated bacterial structures known as biofilms are the target of intense antimicrobial research efforts. We recently identified several secreted proteins that are retained in the bacterial biofilm matrix by their association with the biofilm exopolysaccharide scaffold. Based on o...
