A Novel Repressor of the <italic toggle="yes">ica</italic> Locus Discovered in Clinically Isolated Super-Biofilm-Elaborating <italic toggle="yes">Staphylococcus aureus</italic>

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus TF2758 is a clinical isolate from an atheroma and a super-biofilm-elaborating/polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA)/poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG)-overproducing strain (L. Shrestha et al., Microbiol Immunol 60:148–159, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1111/1348-0421.1235...
