摘要: Transmission of Yesinia pestis relies primarily on the bite of flea vectors, which is closely related to the biofilm formation of this pathogen[1].Y.pestis synthesizes heavily the attached biofilms, a population of bacterial colonies embedded in self-produced exopolysaccharide matrix, in the flea proventriculus[1].The biofilm formation leads to the blockage of fleas, making the fleas feel hungry and repeatedly attempt to feed, and thus the plague bacilli pump into the host body during these futile feeding attempts[1].Detection of biofilm formation is an important phenotypic measurement for the potential of flea-borne transmission of Y.pestis.Various methods are currently used for detecting Yersinia biofilms[2-5].
