Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation on endotracheal tubes requires multiple two-component systems.

Conclusions. Our study established an in vitro method for studying P. aeruginosa biofilm formation on the ETT surfaces. We also identified novel ETT-specific TCSs that could serve as targets to prevent biofilm formation on indwelling devices frequently used in clinical settings.
