Assessing the effect of micafungin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation using confocal microscopy and gene expression

Introduction: 1,3-β-D-glucan of the fungal cell wall and extracellular matrix (ECM) of Candida biofilm is also present as a periplasmic glucan and within the ECM of P. aeruginosa biofilm. Micafungin inhibits the synthesis of β-D-glucans. This project evaluates the effect of micafungin on P. aerugin...
