Adhesin genes and biofilm formation among pediatric Staphylococcus aureus isolates from implant-associated infections
22 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microbial surface component recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs) facilitate Staphylococcus aureus adherence to host tissue. We hypothesized that S. aureus isolates from implant-associated infections (IAIs) would differ in MSCRAMM profile and biofilm formation in vitro compared to skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) isolates. METHODS: Pediatric patients and their isolates were identified...
