Mucin-induced surface dispersal of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> via quorum sensing-dependent and independent mechanisms
2024-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Nasopharyngeal carriage of staphylococci spreads potentially pathogenic strains into (peri)oral regions and increases the chance of cross-infections. Some laboratory strains can also move rapidly on hydrated agar surfaces, but the biological relevance of these observations is not clear. Using soft-agar (0.3% w/v) plate assays, we demonstrate the rapid surface dispersal of (peri)oral isolates of Staphylococcus aur...
