Relationship of cell surface hydrophobicity with biofilm formation and growth rate: A study on <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus,</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i>.

Abstract

Comparative analysis showed that cell surface hydrophobicity, growth rate, and small colony variants (SCVs) are correlated in biofilm consortia of the <i>P. aeruginosa, S. aureus,</i> and <i>E. coli.</i>
