Molecular aspects of bacterial adhesion, colonization, and development of infections associated with biomaterials

Journal of Investigative Surgery : the Official Journal of the Academy of Surgical Research

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci of species commonly isolated from biomaterial-associated infections commonly express fibronectin-binding surface proteins and the ability to interact with collagen. These findings, as well as the ability of coagulase-negative staphylococci to produce surface slime or capsular material, are presented as alternative models for how biofilms develop on biomaterial surfaces. Further knowledge of how bacteria and eukaryotic cells interact with various biomaterials will stimulate the development of better tissue implant devices to avoid biomaterial-associated infections.

Biofilm & Infectious Disease

Biofilm formation is a key virulence factor for a wide range of microorganisms that cause chronic infections.Here is the latest research on biofilm and infectious diseases.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
