Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionbah-2 was identified in screens for mutants that were resistant to the attachment of biofilms produced by bacteria such as Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; bah-2 most likely encodes a surface cuticle component required for biofilm formation; bah-2 mutant cuticles are also fragile compared to wild-type.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00029153

Disease_relevanceC. elegans is being used as a model system to identify and study the genes required for the formation of bacterial biofilms in the host; the inherent resistance of biofilms to antimicrobial agents like phagocytes, antibiotics etc, are the root cause of chronic bacterial infections; the bah genes in elegans, bah-1, bah-2 and bah-3 are required for infection of elegans by biofilm producing bacteria Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which bind to the C. elegans surface, predominantly on the head.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00035152
