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 ...
Relevant role of fibronectin-binding proteins in Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-associated foreign-body infections
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
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 ...
Role of staphylococcal phage and SaPI integrase in intra- and interspecies SaPI transfer
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
SaPIbov2 is a member of the SaPI family of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands and is very closely related to SaPIbov1. Typically, certain temperate phages can induce excision and replication of one or more of these islands ...
Expression of the biofilm-associated protein interferes with host protein receptors of Staphylococcus aureus and alters the infective process
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to soluble proteins and extracellular-matrix components of the host is one of the key steps in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections. S. aureus presents a family of adhesins ...
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 ...
