Characterisation of a dual species perfusion biofilm model (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Steven, J., & Nelson, S. (2018, June). Characterisation of a dual species perfusion biofilm model. Poster presented at Microbiology Society Early Career Microbiologists’ Forum Summer Conference, Birmingham, UKAn estimated 65–80% of human infections are biofilm-related. As the biofilm mode of growth significantly contributes to bacterial tolerance of antimicrobial treatment, this has important ramifications for patient morbidity and associated healthcare c...
