Rapid assembly of biofilms from DNA released by SOS-inducing drugs in enteric bacteria

Abstract The SOS response is a bacterial stress response activated by DNA damage in many types of bacteria. SOS-inducing antibiotics trigger the rapid release of DNA into the extracellular medium in many strains. Surprisingly, the DNA released in this way contains greater amounts of single-stranded...
