is a predominant nosocomial pathogen within the healthcare setting able to produce biofilms. Sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics trigger mechanisms affecting bacterial virulence, including increased adhesion and biofilm formation. The aim this study was investigate how sub-MICs metronidazole affect formation
