Morphologic aberration associated with colonial tenacity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A blood isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was encountered which produced, on subculture to Mueller-Hinton agar, markedly adherent, tenacious colonies which were characterized microscopically by the presence of serpentine rows of interlocking bacilli. Factors accounting for the observed morphologic aberration, which was lost upon subculture, remain unknown.
