Effect of iron on the expression of sirR and sitABC in biofilm-associated Staphylococcus epidermidis

BACKGROUND: Different gene expression patterns correlate with the altered phenotype in biofilm-associated bacteria. Iron and iron-linked genes are thought to play a key-role in biofilm formation. The expression of Fe-linked genes (sirR, sitABC operon) in Staphylococcus epidermidis, was compared in p...
