Screening of genes encoding adhesion factors and biofilm formation in<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>isolates from poultry
24 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from poultry between 1970 and 1972 (90 old isolates) and in 2006 (81 recent isolates) were screened for the presence of bap, icaA and icaD genes associated with biofilm formation, and for bbp, cna, ebpS, eno, fib, fnbA, fnbB, clfA and clfB genes that encode microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs). Most of the old isolates were...
