<italic toggle="yes">Pseudomonas</italic> Biofilms, Cystic Fibrosis, and Phage: a Silver Lining?

ABSTRACT In contrast to usual laboratory conditions, most bacteria in the human body grow in biofilms. Encased in a structured matrix, many pathogens display heightened resistance to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients represent a prime example of the clin...
