Extracellular proteases of Staphylococcus epidermidis: roles as virulence factors and their participation in biofilm
5 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococci produce a large number of extracellular proteases, some of which are considered as potential virulence factors. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a causative agent of nosocomial infections in medical devices by the formation of biofilms. It has been proposed that proteases contribute to the different stages of biofilm formation. S. epidermidis secretes a small number of extracellular proteases, such as...
