Biofilm Formation by Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium Species: A Comparative Study.

abstract：:Bacteriophages are the most common entities on earth and represent a constant challenge to bacterial populations. To fend off bacteriophage infection, bacteria evolved immune systems to avert phage adsorption and block invader DNA entry. They developed restriction-modification systems and mechanisms to abort infection...
