Nonclassical Biofilms Induced by DNA Breaks in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Many pathogenic bacteria can form biofilm matrices that consist of complex molecules such as polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. These biofilms help the bacteria to infect and colonize a host. Such biofilms may attach and develop on the surfaces of indwelling medical devices or other supportive envi...
