Bacteria form biofilms as a strategy for survival and persistence. In this Review, Yildiz and colleagues discussVibrio cholerae surface attachment and the biofilm matrix components. They also review the regulatory network that governs V. choleraebiofilm formation, including the transcriptional regulators of key genes involved in this process, as well as the roles of small nucleotides and small RNAs.
