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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Protein A-mediated multicellular behavior in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The capacity of Staphylococcus aureus to form biofilms on host tissues and implanted medical devices is one of the major virulence traits underlying persistent and chronic infections. The matrix in which S. aureus cells ...
B regulates IS256-mediated Staphylococcus aureus biofilm phenotypic variation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus is subject to phase variation, and biofilm-negative derivatives emerge sporadically from a biofilm-positive bacterial population. To date, the only known mechanism for generating ...
Role of biofilm-associated protein bap in the pathogenesis of bovine Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of intramammary infections, which frequently become chronic, associated with the ability of the bacteria to produce biofilm. Here, we report a relationship between the ability to ...
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 ...
