<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>The bovine pathogen<jats:italic>Streptococcus uberis</jats:italic>was assessed for biofilm growth. The transition from planktonic to biofilm growth in strain 0140J correlated with an upregulation of several gene products that have been shown to be important for pathogenesis, including a glutamine ABC transporter (SUB1152) and a lactoferrin binding protein (gene<jats:italic>lbp</jats:italic>; protein SUB0145).</jats:p>
