Calcium inhibits bap-dependent multicellular behavior in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Bap (biofilm-associated protein) is a 254-kDa staphylococcal surface protein implicated in formation of biofilms by staphylococci isolated from chronic mastitis infections. The presence of potential EF-hand motifs in the ...
Bap, a Staphylococcus aureus surface protein involved in biofilm formation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Identification of new genes involved in biofilm formation is needed to understand the molecular basis of strain variation and the pathogenic mechanisms implicated in chronic staphylococcal infections. A biofilm-producing ...
Conditional mutation of an essential putative glycoprotease eliminates autolysis in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Our previous studies demonstrated that a putative Staphylococcus aureus glycoprotease (Gcp) is essential for bacterial survival, indicating that Gcp may be a novel target for developing antibacterial agents. However, the ...
The enterococcal surface protein, Esp, is involved in Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The enterococcal surface protein, Esp, is a high-molecular-weight surface protein of unknown function whose
frequency is significantly increased among infection-derived Enterococcus faecalis isolates. In this work, a ...
Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production
by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are
lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus
aureus by ...
Staphylococcus aureus develops an alternative, ica-independent biofilm in the absence of the arlRS two-component system
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates is considered an important virulence
factor for the establishment of chronic infections. Environmental conditions affect the biofilm formation
capacity ...
SarA is an essential positive regulator of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm development
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation is associated with the production of the polysaccharide intercellular
adhesin (PIA)--poly-N-acetylglucosamine polysaccharide (PNAG) by the products of the icaADBC
operon. ...
SarA positively controls Bap-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The biofilm-associated protein Bap is a staphylococcal surface protein involved in biofilm formation. We
investigated the influence of the global regulatory locus sarA on bap expression and Bap-dependent biofilm
formation ...
Beta-lactam antibiotics induce the SOS response and horizontal transfer of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Antibiotics that interfere with DNA replication and cell viability activate the SOS response. In Staphylococcus
aureus, the antibiotic-induced SOS response promotes replication and high-frequency horizontal transfer ...
Sensory deprivation in Staphylococcus aureus
(Springer Nature, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Bacteria use two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to environmental
changes. The core genome of the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus encodes 16
TCSs, one of which (WalRK) is essential. Here we show ...
