Abstract

The rdar phenotype of strain 43895OR is similar to that described for certain strains of Salmonella and is important in multicellular behavior, bio-film production, and resistance to certain bacterial compounds. The studies of strain 43895OW attached to glass indicate that curli fibers could be expressed during attachment to glass.
