Phenazine production promotes antibiotic tolerance and metabolic heterogeneity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

Pseudomonas aeruginosa releases redox-active metabolites called phenazines. Here, the authors use metabolic imaging by stimulated Raman scattering microscopy to show that phenazines antagonize the effects of antibiotics on P. aeruginosa biofilms by modulating bacterial metabolism.
