Stress conditions in the host induce persister cells and influence biofilm formation by Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 52 (), 2019
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Studies have demonstrated that pathogens react to the harsh conditions in human tissues by inducing mechanisms that promote survival. METHODS: Persistence and biofilm-forming ability were evaluated during stress conditions that mimic those in the host. RESULTS: Carbon-source ava...
