The Transcription Factor SpoVG Is of Major Importance for Biofilm Formation of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> under In Vitro Conditions, but Dispensable for In Vivo Biofilm Formation

The Transcription Factor SpoVG Is of Major Importance for Biofilm Formation of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> under In Vitro Conditions, but Dispensable for In Vivo Biofilm Formation

<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> is a common cause of device related infections on which pathogens form biofilms (i.e., multilayered cell populations embedded in an extracellular matrix). Here, we report that the transcription factor SpoVG is essential for the capacity of <i>S. ep...
