Transcriptional analysis and target genes discovery of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm developed ex vivo chronic wound model
Abstract Bacterial biofilms formation is one of the major reasons for treatment failure in chronic wound infections. Therefore, diagnostic biomarkers remain the best option for prevention and treatment of chronic wound infections by biofilms. Herein, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was used to mimic bio...

Abstract Bacterial biofilms formation is one of the major reasons for treatment failure in chronic wound infections.
