NOVEL GENES INVOLVED IN THE ESCHERICHIA COLI BIOFILM FORMATION AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to biofilm genes, their polypeptides, and the use of such genes, polypeptides and control regions in determining compositions for use in the disruption of biofilms and the treatment of disease. The identified compositions regulate the expression of the biofilm genes or modulate the activity of their protein products.
