Generation of Small Colony Variants in Biofilms by Escherichia coli Harboring a Conjugative F Plasmid

A conjugative F plasmid induces mature biofilm formation by Escherichia coli by promoting F-pili-mediated cell-cell interactions and increasing the expression of biofilm-related genes. We herein demonstrated another function for the F plasmid in E. coli biofilms; it contributes to the emergence of g...
