Planktonic interference and biofilm alliance between aggregation substance and endocarditis and biofilm associated pili in Enterococcus faecalis

K. A. Kline, I. Afonina, X. N. Lim, R. Tan

This study examines the co-expression of aggregation substance (AS) and endocarditis and biofilm-associated pili (Ebp) in Enterococcus faecalis, showing their antagonistic and synergistic effects in planktonic growth and biofilm formation.
