This project investigates the role of the MexT regulator in biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly in the context of cystic fibrosis. It aims to identify genetic factors that influence biofilm structure and virulence, potentially leading to new strategies for combating infections.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile bacterium that can inhabit many environments.
In its natural environments, Pseudomonas predominantly grows in organized communities called biofilms.
Growth as a biofilm is also an important requirement for the colonization of human tissues.
For instance, P. aeruginosa grows as a biofilm in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
Previously, it has been shown that nfxC-phenotypic isolates of P. aeruginosa associated with decreased early attachment - the f…
