Adhesin genes and biofilm formation among pediatric Staphylococcus aureus isolates from implant-associated infections.

Adhesin genes and biofilm formation among pediatric Staphylococcus aureus isolates from implant-associated infections.

<h4>Background</h4>Microbial surface component recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs) facilitate Staphylococcus aureus adherence to host tissue. We hypothesized that S. aureus isolates from implant-associated infections (IAIs) would differ in MSCRAMM profile and biofilm formati...
