Structural characteristics, functions, and counteracting strategies of biofilms in Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is a prevalent pathogen associated with a wide range of infections, exhibiting significant antibiotic resistance and posing therapeutic challenges in clinical settings. The formation of biofilms contributes to the emergence of resistant strains, further diminishing the efficacy of antibiotics. This, in turn, leads to chronic and recurrent infections,...
