Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative agent for biofilm-associated infections. Inside
biofilms, S. aureus cells are embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of …

The global regulator CodY links nutrient availability to the regulation of virulence factor gene
expression in Staphylococcus aureus, including many genes whose products affect biofilm …

Background Polymicrobial infections are responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in
adults and children. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans are the most …

Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are extremely difficult to treat. They provide a protected
niche for the bacteria, rendering them highly recalcitrant toward host defenses as well as …

Staphylococcus aureus in biofilms is highly resistant to the treatment with antibiotics, to
which the planktonic cells are susceptible. This is likely to be due to the biofilm creating a …

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) causes persistent biofilm-related infections. Biofilm
formation by S. aureus is affected by the culture conditions and is associated with certain …

Bacteria can form biofilms in natural and clinical environments on both biotic and abiotic
surfaces. The bacterial aggregates embedded in biofilms are formed by their own produced …

Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are major human pathogens of
increasing importance due to the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant strains. Evidence …

Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen that can form biofilms on various
surfaces. These cell communities are protected from the environment by a self-produced …

In S. aureus biofilms, bacteria are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) and are highly tolerant to antimicrobial drugs. We thus sought to identify …
