Staphylococcus aureus glucose-induced biofilm accessory proteins, GbaAB, influence biofilm formation in a PIA-dependent manner

Burn Serum Increases Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation via Oxidative Stress

“…Burn serum showed only a slightly decrease (with no significant differences) in levels of glucose, sodium ions, and chloride ions ( Supplementary Figure S1 ). However, glucose and NaCl levels are positively correlated with staphylococcal biofilm formation in these concentration ranges (Lim et al, 2004; You et al, 2014). Thus, changes in glucose and NaCl do not explain the ability of burn serum to promote biofilm formation.…”

Effect of proteases against biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis

“…aureus surface protein) or Ses (Staph. epidermidis surface protein), which is variable in different strains, or may be due to a different accessibility of this protein to the Neutrase (You et al 2014). OD measurements carried out to evaluate the putative anti-bacterial effect of Neutrase led to the conclusion that the tested protease (Neutrase) had no anti-bacterial effect against Staph.…”

Effect of neem ( Azadirachta indica A. Juss) leaf extract on resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation and Schistosoma mansoni worms

“…Fig. 3A shows a large aggregate of S. aureus induced by the presence of glucose in the culture media, which was added as a supplement to encourage the multicelullar aggregation step of biofilm formation (You et al, 2014). According to Haaber et al (2012), bacterial cells in aggregates are protected against antimicrobial compounds and, in contrast to biofilms, maintain high levels of metabolic activity and mobility.…”
