Growth in biofilms prepares Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis for the macrophage microenvironment
Overall, these results identify a number of genes that may be important for biofilm formation and survival within macrophages and which will provide new foci for drug development that targets biofilm formation and <i>M. avium</i> virulence.
