“…Among various pathogenicity factors, surface adhesions, typically known as MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) are of vital importance due to their role in appropriate colonization and bio lm formation [4,5]. The family of MSCRAMMs consisting of fnbA and fnbB ( bronectin-binding protein A and B), clfA, clfB (clumping factor A and B), cna (collagen adhesin), bbp (sialoprotein-binding protein), ebpS (elastin-binding protein of S. aureus), spa (Staphylococcal protein A), map/eap (extra-cellular adhesion protein), sdrC, sdrD, and sdrE (serine aspartate repeat proteins C, D, and E) genes [4,6,7].…”
