Methods to identify enzymes that degrade the main extracellular polysaccharide component of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms
The production of extracellular poly-β-1,6-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (PNAG) by Staphylococcus epidermidis is the principal determinant of biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices. Enzymes that degrade PNAG therefore provide an attractive strategy for biofilm removal and for the manufacture of bi...
