Low Levels of β-Lactam Antibiotics Induce Extracellular DNA Release and Biofilm Formation in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus aureus</named-content>
ABSTRACT Subminimal inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics have been shown to induce bacterial biofilm formation. Few studies have investigated antibiotic-induced biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus, an important human pathogen. Our goal was to measure S. aureus biofilm formation in the pre...
