Increased Colonization of Indwelling Medical Devices by Quorum‐Sensing Mutants of Staphylococcus epidermidis In Vivo
Open accessAbstract
Infections with the leading nosocomial pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis are characterized by biofilm development on indwelling medical devices. We demonstrate that the quorum-sensing regulator agr affects the biofilm development of S. epidermidis in an unexpected fashion and is likely involved in promoting biofilm detachment. An isogenic agr mutant showed increased biofilm development and colonization in a rabbit model. In addition, nonfunctional agr occurred more frequently among strains isolated from infections of joint prostheses. Lack of functionality was based on mutations, including insertion of an IS256 element. Relative to other bacterial pathogens, quorum sensing in S. epidermidis thus has a different role during biofilm development and biofilm-associated infection. Our results indicate that disabling agr likely enhances the success of S. epidermidis during infection of indwelling medical devices. The permanent elimination of quorum-sensing regulation used by S. epidermidis represents a surprising and unusual means to adapt to a certain environment and type of infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
