Transcriptomic Response Of Salmonella enterica Subspecies enterica serovar Typhi To Antibiotic Treatments During Biofilm Formation

Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) is a human-specific pathogen which causes typhoid fever. One major factor contributing to typhoid persistence is the existence of asymptomatic typhoid carriers. Biofilm formation in the human gallbladder is postulated to be associated with development of the carrier-state...
