Extracellular ATP inhibits twitching motility-mediated biofilm expansion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that exploits damaged epithelia to cause infection. Type IV pili (tfp) are polarly located filamentous structures which are the major adhesins for attachment of P. aeruginosa to epithelial cells. The extension and retraction of tfp power...
