Proteomics of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm matrix in a rat model of orthopedic implant-associated infection.

The matrix proteins of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm have not been well defined. Previous efforts to identify these proteins were performed using in vitro systems. Here we use a proteomic approach to identify biofilm matrix proteins directly from infected bone implants using a rat model of orthopedi...
