Pseudomonas aeruginosa leucine aminopeptidase influences early biofilm composition and structure via vesicle-associated anti-biofilm activity

This paper shows that PaAP, a leucine aminopeptidase in P. aeruginosa, influences biofilm structure via its association with outer membrane vesicles, altering matrix composition and promoting biofilm detachment.

Vesicle-associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa leucine aminopeptidase modulates bacterial biofilms grown on host cellular substrates

This study shows that PaAP, a leucine aminopeptidase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, associated with outer membrane vesicles, inhibits biofilm formation and disperses biofilm microcolonies of other pathogens.
