New Insights into Resistome and Biofilm relationship in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Key Points

• The resistome influences biofilm formation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, leading to increased antibiotic resistance.
• Biofilm-associated Vibrio parahaemolyticus show a higher level of antibiotic resistance compared to free-living cells.
• Analysis determined interactions between resistome components and biofilm development in laboratory settings.
• These findings highlight potential targets for addressing antibiotic resistance in aquatic environments.
