报告简介：

Abstract: Bacterial biofilms constitute a major source of infections in medical and industrial settings due to high tolerance of biofilm bacteria to biocide treatments, leading to frequent therapeutic failures. The profound phenotypic differences between planktonic and biofilm bacteria early suggested that biofilms could display unique and targetable properties. Dr. Jean-Marc Ghigo will discuss how exploring functions or molecules produced within bacterial communities could lead to new strategies to diagnose or limit biofilm-associated infections.
