PrtA-mediated flagellar turnover is essential for robust biofilm development in Serratia marcescens

ABSTRACT Biofilm formation is crucial for bacterial persistence, requiring precise regulatory mechanisms to transition from motility to sessility. Here, we uncover the role of the metalloprotease PrtA in Serratia marcescens biofilm development and its interaction with flagellar components. Loss of P...
