Ciprofloxacin enhances the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus via an agrC-dependent mechanism
21 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus readily forms biofilms on host tissues and medical devices, enabling its persistence in chronic infections and resistance to antibiotic therapy. The accessory gene regulator (Agr) quorum sensing system plays a key role in regulating S. aureus biofilm formation. This study reveals the widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin, strongly stimulates biofilm formation in...
