This disease affects children around the world. Treatment is complicated by the ability of the bacteria to form biofilms in which they are more tolerant to antimicrobials. Developing a better understanding of biofilm antibiotic resistance and possible roles for cell-cell communication may lead to new therapeutic options. While many fascinating findings come from studies using NTHi lab strains, the results from any one strain do not necessarily represent the entire population. en Wake Forest University Antibiotics Biofilm Haemophilus influenzae Quorum signaling Quorum Signaling and Biofilm Antibiotic Resistance Phenotypes of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Clinical Isolates Dissertation Swords, William E Claiborne, Al Ornelles, David Richardson, Stephen Westcott, Marlena Microbiology & Immunology 2017-08-24 open.access
