Alginate exopolymer significantly modulates the viscoelastic properties and resilience of bacterial biofilms
Abstract Biofilms are viscoelastic gels with a cross-linked network of biopolymers forming an extracellular matrix that protects bacteria from most antimicrobial treatments. This study examines the physical role of the matrix in preventing recolonisation using a mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aer...
