Quorum‐Sensing Control of Biofilm Factors in<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>

22 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause of nosocomial sepsis and catheter-related infections, in which biofilm formation is considered to be the main virulence mechanism. Quorum-sensing systems have been recognized as important regulators of virulence and biofilm formation in many bacteria. There is a single quorum-sensing system in S. epidermidis encoded by the agr operon. To investigate...
