Bacterial biofilm-derived H-NS protein acts as a defense against Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)
Abstract Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is crucial for the structural integrity of bacterial biofilms as they undergo transformation from B-DNA to Z-DNA as the biofilm matures. This transition to Z-DNA increases biofilm rigidity and prevents binding by canonical B-DNA-binding proteins, including nucleases...
