Frequency and expression of genes involved in adhesion and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from periodontal lesions
3 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to characterize the Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from periodontal lesions of patients, to determine the expression of genes involved in cell adhesion upon their infection of human epithelial cells using an in vitro model, its biofilm formation, and its resistance to antibiotics. METHODS: S. aureus was analysed by PCR, Kirby-Bauer, and pulsed-field gel...
