Infections caused by <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> are increasingly antibiotic resistant, generating a significant public health problem. Like many bacteria, <i>A. baumannii</i> adopts a biofilm lifestyle that enhances its antibiotic resistance and environmental resilience. Biofilms represent the predominant mode of microbial life, but research into antibiotic resistance has mainly focused on planktonic cells. We investigated the dynamics of <i>A. baumannii</i> biofilms in the presence of antib ...[more]
