How can virulence factor like pyocyanin be quantified in biofilm setup instead of planktonic culture ?

28 March 2025 1 1K Report

Most of the methods in the paper are given for bacterial culture for quantifying QS-associated virulence factors like pyocyanin. What methods can be employed for biofilm setup in microtitre and test tube setups? Please suggest suitable references.
