Microfluidic Systems for Investigating Bacterial Chemotaxis and Colonization

The overall goal of this work was to develop and utilize microfluidic models for investigating bacterial chemotaxis and biofilm formation - phenotypes that play key roles in bacterial infections. Classical methods for investigating chemotaxis and biofilm formation have many limitations and drawbacks...
