SarA and not σ <sup>B</sup> is essential for biofilm development by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

1 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation is associated with the production of the polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA/PNAG), the product of the ica operon. The staphylococcal accessory regulator, SarA, is a central regulatory element that controls the production of S. aureus virulence factors. By screening a library of Tn917 insertions in a clinical S. aureus strain, we identified SarA as being essential for...
