Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms and Their Response to a Relevant in vivo Iron Source
21 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Biofilm infections can be chronic, life threatening and challenging to eradicate. Understanding in vivo stimuli affecting the biofilm cycle is one step toward targeted prevention strategies. Iron restriction by the host is a stimulus for biofilm formation for some Staphylococcus aureus isolates; however, in some infection scenarios bacteria are exposed to abundant amounts of hemoglobin (Hb), which S. aureus is...
