Biofilm formation in enterococci: genotype-phenotype correlations and inhibition by vancomycin
Abstract Enterococci are nosocomial pathogens that can form biofilms, which contribute to their virulence and antibiotic resistance. Although many genes involved in biofilm formation have been defined, their distribution among enterococci has not been comprehensively studied on a genome scale, and t...
