Genome-wide mutagenesis of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri reveals novel genetic determinants and regulation mechanisms of biofilm formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) causes citrus canker disease, a major threat to citrus production worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests that the formation of biofilms on citrus leaves plays an important role in the epiphytic survival of this ...

Antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus with different degrees of biofilm formation
Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2021 Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in biofilm-associated chronic infections. S. aureus living within biofilms evades the host immune response and is more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic bacteria.

The HD-GYP Domain, Cyclic Di-GMP Signaling, and Bacterial Virulence to Plants
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006 Cyclic di-GMP is an almost ubiquitous second messenger in bacteria that was first described as an allosteric activator of cellulose synthase but is now known to regulate a range of functions, including virulence in human and animal pathogens. Two protein
