The Possible Role of Staphylococcus epidermidis LPxTG Surface Protein SesC in Biofilm Formation.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common cause of device-associated infections. It has been shown that active and passive immunization in an animal model against protein SesC significantly reduces S. epidermidis biofilm-associated infections. In order to elucidate its role, knock-out of sesC or...
