This project focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation on medical devices. By utilizing advanced atomic force microscopy techniques, it aims to develop new anti-adhesion therapies to combat difficult-to-treat infections caused by this pathogen.
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, which are often complicated by the ability of this pathogen to grow as biofilms on indwelling medical devices.
Because biofilms protect the bacteria from host defenses and are resistant to many antibiotics, biofilm-related infections are difficult to fight and represent a tremendous burden on our healthcare system.
Today, a true molecular understanding of the fundamental interactions driving staphylococcal adhesion and bio…
