Characterization of Tn917 insertion mutants of Staphylococcus epidermidis affected in biofilm formation.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 1996

Heilmann C, Gerke C, Perdreau-Remington F, Götz F

Abstract excerpt

Biofilm formation is thought to result from the concerted action of primary attachment to a specific surface and accumulation in multilayered cell clusters. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of transposon (Tn917) mutants of Staphylococcus epidermidis O-47 which were biofilm negative in the polystyrene microtiter plate assay. Among 5,000 Tn917 insertion mutants, 4 biofilm-negative mutants were...
