Heparin Mimics Extracellular DNA in Binding to Cell Surface-Localized Proteins and Promoting <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content> Biofilm Formation
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of catheter-related bloodstream infections. Biofilms form on these implants and are held together by a matrix composed of proteins, polysaccharides, and extracellular DNA (eDNA). Heparin is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is routinely used in centr...
