Abstract excerpt
Biofilm formation is a virulence factor of bacteria. The goal of this study was to understand the mechanisms of biofilm formation by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Whole-genome sequencing of eight MRSA strains was performed to identify sequence variations in genes related to biofilm formation. Thirty-one genes involved in MRSA biofilm formation were analyzed and 11 amino acid sequence...
