Background Since bacteria embedded in biofilms are far more difficult to eradicate than
planktonic infections, it would be useful to know whether certain Staphylococcus aureus …

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 …

Several serious diseases are caused by biofilm-associated Staphylococcus aureus.
Colonial variants occur in biofilms of other bacterial species, and S. aureus variants are …

The relative impact of 23 mutations on biofilm formation was evaluated in the USA 300,
methicillin‐resistant strain LAC. Mutation of sarA, atl, codY, rsbU, and sigB limited biofilm …

The role of Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants (SCVs) in the pathogenesis of
biofilm-associated infections remains unclear. This study investigated the mechanism …

Objectives Epidemic methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clones cause infections in both
hospital and community settings. As a biofilm phenotype further facilitates evasion of the …

The contribution of the genetic background of Staphylococcus aureus to biofilm formation is
poorly understood. We investigated the association between the genetic background and …

Clinical information about genotypically different clones of biofilm-producing Staphylococcus
aureus is largely unknown. We examined whether different clones of methicillin-sensitive …

Many serious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus appear to be associated with
biofilms. Therefore, we investigated the biofilm-forming ability of the methicillin-resistant S …

The molecular and clinical factors associated with biofilm-forming methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are incompletely understood. Biofilm production for 182 …
