Human serum triglycerides promote <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> biofilm formation and antibiotic tolerance

2026-03-06

Abstract excerpt

Biofilm formation and antibiotic tolerance are major contributors to the persistence of Staphylococcus aureus infections, yet how the host environment affects these phenotypes remains poorly understood. Here, we show that incubation in human serum primes S. aureus to form robust biofilms and tolerate vancomycin and daptomycin, last resort antibiotics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcal infec...
