Biofilm Formation and Its Role in Disease Pathogenesis: A Review.

species, particularly , is the first pathogen on the critical priority list of pathogens for novel antibiotics to become a "red-alert" human pathogen. is an emerging global antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria that most typically causes biofilm-associated infections such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and catheter-related infection, both of which are resistant to antibiotic therapy. capacity to develop antibiotic resistance mechanisms allows the organism to thrive in hospital settings, facilitating the global spread of multidrug-resistant strains.
