Identification of genes involved in polysaccharide-independent Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation.

PloS one - 14 Apr 2010

Boles Blaise R, Thoendel Matthew, Roth Aleeza J, Horswill Alexander R

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a potent biofilm former on host tissue and medical implants, and biofilm growth is a critical virulence determinant for chronic infections. Recent studies suggest that many clinical isolates form polysaccharide-independent biofilms. However, a systematic screen for defective mutants has not been performed to identify factors important for biofilm formation in these strains. We created a...
