Biofilm formation by bacterial pathogens represents a major challenge in aquaculture, since biofilms promote persistence and increase tolerance to antimicrobial treatments. Yersinia ruckeri, the etiological agent of enteric redmouth disease in salmonids, contributes to recurrent infections in aquaculture. However, the...
