Modulation of eDNA release and degradation affects Staphylococcus aureus biofilm maturation.

Modulation of eDNA release and degradation affects Staphylococcus aureus biofilm maturation.

Recent studies have demonstrated a role for Staphylococcus aureus cidA-mediated cell lysis and genomic DNA release in biofilm adherence. The current study extends these findings by examining both temporal and additional genetic factors involved in the control of genomic DNA release and degradation d...
