Beyond lethal doses: sub-MIC levels of multi-class antibiotics induce species- and isolate-dependent biofilm inhibition in gram-negative pathogens [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Biofilm-associated infections remain a major clinical challenge due to their intrinsic tolerance to antimicrobial therapy. Sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics are frequently encountered in vivo, particularly at ...
