Induction of Attachment-Independent Biofilm Formation and Repression ofhfqExpression by Low-Fluid-Shear Culture of Staphylococcus aureus
30 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus encounters a wide variety of fluid shear levels within the human host, and they may play a key role in dictating whether this organism adopts a commensal interaction with the host or transitions to cause disease. By using rotating-wall vessel bioreactors to create a physiologically relevant, low-fluid-shear environment, S. aureus was evaluated for cellular...
