An in-vitro evaluation of C-di-GMP mediated biofilm dispersal as a potential strategy to restore antimicrobial efficacy by Roizman, Dan

“…The present research aims at providing knowledge about how c-di-GMP mediated biofilm dispersal will impact antimicrobial synergy treatment against bacterial biofilms and whether it will result in the emergence of resistant/tolerant variant populations. To achieve these objectives, a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, PAO1/pBAD-yhjH which carries an inducible phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme allowing for controlled biofilm dispersal, was utilized (Chua, Tan et al. 2013). …”
