SarZ Is a Key Regulator of Biofilm Formation and Virulence inStaphylococcus epidermidis

21 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Biofilm-associated infection due to Staphylococcus epidermidis, the leading nosocomial pathogen, is a major problem for the public health system, but the regulation of this important phenotype is not completely understood. Using a highly discriminatory screening procedure for genes that influence biofilm formation, we identified the transcriptional regulator SarZ as a novel important determinant of biofilm...
