Abstract excerpt
The enormous spread of Staphylococcus aureus infections through biofilms is a major concern in hospital-acquired infections. Biofilm formation by S. aureus on any surface is facilitated by adjusting its redox status. This organism is a facultative anaerobe shift more towards reductive conditions by enhancing nitrogen metabolism where glutamine synthesis plays a key role. Glutamine is synthesized by glutamine...
