Visualisation and biovolume quantification in the characterisation of biofilm formation in Mycoplasma fermentans

Abstract The ability of mycoplasmas to persist on surfaces has been widely acknowledged, despite their fastidious nature. However, the organism’s capability to form a recognisable biofilm structure has been identified more recently. In the current study Mycoplasma fermentans was found to adhere to t...
