Genomewide Analysis of Gene Expression in<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>Biofilms: Insights into the Pathophysiology of<i>S. epidermidis</i>Biofilms and the Role of Phenol‐Soluble Modulins in Formation of Biofilms

Abstract excerpt

Many bacterial pathogens form cellular agglomerations known as biofilms, which considerably limit the success of both antibiotic treatment and the human immune defense. To gain insight into the pathophysiology of the leading nosocomial pathogen, Staphylococcus epidermidis, we analyzed the genome of biofilm-forming S. epidermidis, constructed a microarray representing its entire transcriptome, and performed...
