| Method for producing bacterial biofilm on plastic support and use thereof for the screening of therapies for pneumoccocal infections | ||
| Abstract | ||
| Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis both form biofilm on polystyrene microtiter plates. Gene expression profiling showed that pneumococci in lung and brain show identical patterns of gene expression as in the biofilm on plastic. This proposes the biofilm situation in microtiter plates as model system for the assay of agents of therapeutic use in meningeal or pulmonary infections | ||
