Abstract
E. faecalis
is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, in part due to its ability to form biofilms. A complete understanding of the genes required for
E. faecalis
biofilm formation as well as specific features of biofilm morphology related to nutrient availability and growth conditions is crucial for understanding how
E. faecalis
biofilm-associated infections develop and resist treatment in patients.
