Rbf Promotes Biofilm Formation by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> via Repression of <i>icaR</i> , a Negative Regulator of <i>icaADBC</i>
14 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported the identification of a gene, rbf, involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus 8325-4. In an effort to study the mechanism of regulation, microarrays were used to compare the transcription profiles of the wild-type strain with an rbf mutant and an rbf overexpression strain of the clinical isolate UAMS-1. Among the genes affected by rbf overexpression are those...
