Association between accessory gene regulator alleles, agr functionality and biofilm formation in MRSA and MSSA isolated from clinical and nasal carrier specimens

Background:  Staphylococcus aureus has a huge armory of virulence factors which are under the control of the quorum-sensing accessory gene regulator (agr) system. agr dysfunctional strains usually have a higher ability to form biofilm. The aim of the work was to detect the association of agr groups,...
