Controlling chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections by strategically interfering with the sensory function of SagS

What is it about?

Biofilms are the root cause of chronic infections. While previous studies indicated the ability to form biofilms to be linked to the acute-chronic switch in virulence, here we show for the first time that biofilm formation and biofilm drug tolerance play distinct roles in the chronic virulence phenotype of P. aeruginosa.
