Enterococcus faecium Biofilm Formation: Identification of Major Autolysin AtlA(Efm), Associated Acm Surface Localization, and AtlA(Efm)-Independent Extracellular DNA Release

Enterococcus faecium is an important multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen causing biofilm-mediated infections in patients with medical devices. Insight into E. faecium biofilm pathogenesis is pivotal for the development of new strategies to prevent and treat these infections. In several bacteria,...
