Enterococcus faecalis strains show culture heterogeneity in cell surface charge
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of micro-organisms to biotic and abiotic surfaces is an important virulence factor and involves different types of interactions. Enterococcus faecalis, a human commensal and an important opportunistic pathogen, has the ability to adhere to surfaces. Biliary stents frequently become clogged with bacterial biofilms, with E. faecalis as one of the predominant species. Six E. faecalis strains isolated from...
