Physical mechanisms driving the reversible aggregation of Staphylococcus aureus and response to antimicrobials
Abstract Formation of non-sessile, auto-aggregated cells of Staphylococcus aureus contributes to surface colonization and biofilm formation, hence play a major role in the early establishment of infection and in tolerance to antimicrobials. Understanding the mechanism of aggregation and the impact o...
