Abstract excerpt
Examination of genes encoding for the virulence factors, hemolysin/cytolysin (vvhA) and capsular polysaccharide (CPS allele 1), during biofilm formation revealed that their expression was influenced by the maturity of the biofilm as well as by temperature. At 24 °C, expression of vvhA during biofilm formation was low between 4 and 12 h but increased 10-fold by 24 h to (5.1 × 104 ± 6.3 × 103mRNA copies/ml) as the...
