Perspective: the viscoelastic properties of biofilm infections and mechanical interactions with phagocytic immune cells

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Marilyn Wells et al. from the University of Pittsburgh, United States have published the research work: Perspective: The viscoelastic properties of biofilm infections and mechanical interactions with phagocytic immune cells, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: In this work, several strains of P. aeruginosa were studied that overexpressed alginate while producing no Pel, Psl, or both no Pel and Psl.
• how: In biofilm infections this progressive immune_response incorporating both the innate and adaptive immune systems is used against the host to stimulate constant and ineffective inflammation damaging surrounding tissue and worsening the infection . . .
