Environmental and Chemical Modulation of Staphylococcus aureus Newman Biofilm Formation

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> biofilm formation enhances survival on host tissues and medical devices. This study tested how oxidative stress (H₂O₂), pH (5–9), NaCl (0–10%), and human serum (5–50%) affect Newman strain biofilm and key genes ( <italic>icaA</italic> , <italic>icaD</italic> , <italic>sarA</italic> ). Biofilm was quantified by crystal violet assays, and ge...
