Evolutionary adaptations of biofilms infecting cystic fibrosis lungs promote mechanical toughness by adjusting polysaccharide production
Evolution: Toughening up biofilms in lungs Bacteria in lungs of people with cystic fibrosis can evolve through decades to build a tough biofilm that resists the body’s defences. Vernita Gordon and colleagues at the University of Texas, with co-workers in Europe, examined biofilms cultured from lung...
