The Terminal A Domain of the Fibrillar Accumulation-Associated Protein (Aap) of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> Mediates Adhesion to Human Corneocytes

12 Sept 2009

Abstract excerpt

The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis colonizes indwelling medical devices by biofilm formation but is primarily a skin resident. In many S. epidermidis strains biofilm formation is mediated by a cell wall-anchored protein, the accumulation-associated protein (Aap). Here, we investigate the role of Aap in skin adhesion. Aap is an LPXTG protein with a domain architecture including a terminal A...
