Vibrio cholerae Biofilms and Cholera Pathogenesis
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Vibrio cholerae can switch between motile and biofilm lifestyles. The last decades have been marked by a remarkable increase in our knowledge of the structure, regulation, and function of biofilms formed under laboratory conditions. Evidence has grown suggesting that V.
