Staphylococcus saprophyticus From Clinical and Environmental Origins Have Distinct Biofilm Composition

Biofilm formation has been shown to be critical to the success of uropathogens. Although Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a common cause of urinary tract infections, its biofilm production capacity, composition, genetic basis, and origin are poorly understood. We investigated biofilm formation in a l...
