Identification of Genes Involved in Polysaccharide-Independent Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation

Staphylococcus aureus is a potent biofilm former on host tissue and medical implants, and biofilm growth is a critical virulence determinant for chronic infections. Recent studies suggest that many clinical isolates form polysaccharide-independent biofilms. However, a systematic screen for defective...
