Bap-dependent biofilm formation by pathogenic species of Staphylococcus: evidence of horizontal gene transfer?

1 Jul 2005

Abstract excerpt

The biofilm-associated protein (Bap) is a surface protein implicated in biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus isolated from chronic mastitis infections. The bap gene is carried in a putative composite transposon inserted in SaPIbov2, a mobile staphylococcal pathogenicity island. In this study, bap orthologue genes from several staphylococcal species, including Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus...
