Role of autolysin-mediated DNA release in biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis

28 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis has become a serious nosocomial pathogen frequently causing infections associated with implanted foreign materials. Biofilm formation is considered a major factor determining S. epidermidis pathogenicity in such device-associated infections. Here, evidence is presented that extracellular DNA is important for the initial phase of biofilm development by S. epidermidis on polystyrene or...
