Dissecting the contribution of Staphylococcus aureus α-phenol-soluble modulins to biofilm amyloid structure
The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is recognized as one of the most frequent causes of biofilm-associated infections. The recently discovered phenol soluble modulins (PSMs) are small α-helical amphipathic peptides that act as the main molecular effectors of staphylococcal biofilm matur...
