Generation of virulence factor variants in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

Several serious diseases are caused by biofilm-associated Staphylococcus aureus. Colonial variants occur in biofilms of other bacterial species, and S. aureus variants are frequently isolated from biofilm-associated infections. Thus, we studied the generation of variants with altered expression of virulence factors in S. aureus biofilms. We observed that the number of variants found in biofilms, as measured by...
