Characterization of a periplasmic peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase in Erwinia chrysanthemi.

abstract：:Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a broad variety of chronic infections. Most S. aureus clinical isolates show the capacity to adhere to abiotic surfaces and to develop biofilms. Because S. aureus growing in a biofilm is highly refractory to treatment, inhibition of biofilm formation represents a major therapeu...
