Staphylococcus aureus Rbf activates biofilm formation in vitro and promotes virulence in a murine foreign body infection model.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2009

Luong Thanh T, Lei Mei G, Lee Chia Y

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified Rbf as an activator for biofilm formation on polystyrene surfaces in Staphylococcus aureus strain 8325-4. However, strain 8325-4 contains genetic mutations that may affect biofilm formation. To extend the observation to other strains, we used strain Newman, a weak biofilm...
