Biofilm-specific antibiotic resistance is influenced by multiple factors. We demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa tssC1, a gene implicated in type VI secretion (T6S), is important for resistance of biofilms to a subset of antibiotics. We showed that tssC1 expression is induced in biofilms and confirmed that tssC1 is required for T6S.
生物膜特异性抗生素耐药性受多种因素影响。我们证明了铜绿假单胞菌 tssC1 是一种与 VI 型分泌系统(T6S)有关的基因,对生物膜对抗生素亚类的耐药性很重要。我们表明,tssC1 在生物膜中表达被诱导,并证实 tssC1 是 T6S 的必需条件。
