Extracellular proteases inhibit protein-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus

In Staphylococcus aureus, biofilm formation can be associated with the production of surface-anchored proteins, including Bap, SasG, FnBPs or Spa. By mutational analysis, and using a model strain in which biofilm formation was Bap-dependent, we found that sigma(B) was essential for protein-dependent...
