    Article Snippet: For fluorescence staining, nucleic acid was stained with cell-permeant SYTO 9 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), proteins were stained with FilmTracerTM SYPROTM Ruby Biofilm Matrix Stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and polysaccharides were stained with Concanavalin A conjugated to tetramethylrhodamine (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

    Techniques: Gene Expression, Expressing, Functional Assay

    Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of Citrobacter species, including isolates from in situ biofilm sample and publicly available genomes. The tree was constructed using core genome sequences and annotated with metadata including sequence type (ST), isolation source, country of origin, and β-lactamase gene profiles.
