The Enterococcal Surface Protein, Esp, Is Involved in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Biofilm Formation

1 Oct 2001

Abstract excerpt

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 global structural similarity was found between Bap, a biofilm-associated protein of Staphylococcus aureus, and Esp. Analysis of the relationship between the presence of the Esp-encoding gene (esp)...
