The role of biofilms in persistent infections and factors involved in <i>ica</i> -independent biofilm development and gene regulation in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus biofilms represent a unique micro-environment that directly contribute to the bacterial fitness within hospital settings. The accumulation of this structure on implanted medical devices has frequently caused the development of persistent and chronic S. aureus-associated infections, which represent an important social and economic burden worldwide. ica-independent biofilms are composed of an...
