These aggregates of sessile bacteria are increasingly being associated with multiple human infections. However, the bacterial factors that contribute to biofilm formation are poorly understood. The identification of biofilm promoting factors and their control mechanisms are necessary for the efficient treatment of biofilm-mediated infections. en Wake Forest University attachment biofilm Bordetella nasal colonization polysaccharide regulation An Examination of the Function and the Transcriptional Regulation of the Bps Polysaccharide in Bordetella pertussis Pathogenesis and Biofilm Development Dissertation Deora, Rajendar Mizel, Steve Reid, Sean Lively, Mark Molecular Genetics & Genomics 2012-12-10 open.access
