Proteomic profile of dormancy within Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms using iTRAQ and label-free strategies

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an important nosocomial bacterium among carriers of indwelling medical devices, since it has a strong ability to form biofilms. The presence of dormant bacteria within a biofilm is one of the factors that contribute to biofilm antibiotic tolerance and immune evasion. He...
