Abstract
Surfing motility is a novel form of surface adaptation exhibited by the nosocomial pathogen
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
in the presence of the glycoprotein mucin, which is found in high abundance at mucosal surfaces, especially those of the lungs of cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis patients. Here, we investigated the adaptive antibiotic resistance of
P. aeruginosa
under conditions in which surfing occurs compared that in to cells undergoing swimming.
