Role of Tobramycin in the Induction and Maintenance of Viable but Non-Culturable <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in an In Vitro Biofilm Model

Role of Tobramycin in the Induction and Maintenance of Viable but Non-Culturable <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in an In Vitro Biofilm Model

The recurrence of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (PA) biofilm infections is a major issue in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. A pivotal role is played by the presence of antibiotic-unresponsive persisters and/or viable but non-culturable (VBNC) forms, whose development might be favored by s...
