Nuclease modulates biofilm formation in community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Nuclease modulates biofilm formation in community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is an emerging contributor to biofilm-related infections. We recently reported that strains lacking sigma factor B (sigB) in the USA300 lineage of CA-MRSA are unable to develop a biofilm. Interestingly, when spent media from...
