B regulates IS256-mediated Staphylococcus aureus biofilm phenotypic variation
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 ... -
Protein A-mediated multicellular behavior in Staphylococcus aureus
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 ... -
Relevant role of fibronectin-binding proteins in Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-associated foreign-body infections
Staphylococcus aureus can establish chronic infections on implanted medical devices due to its capacity to form biofilms. Analysis of the factors that assemble cells into a biofilm has revealed the occurrence of strains ... -
Staphylococcus aureus develops an alternative, ica-independent biofilm in the absence of the arlRS two-component system
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 ...
