Biofilm formation in the lung contributes to virulence and drug tolerance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis forms biofilms in vitro, but it is unclear whether biofilms are also formed during infection in vivo. Here, Chakraborty et al. demonstrate the formation of biofilms in animal models of infection and in patients with tuberculosis, and that biofilm formation can contribute t...
