Mouse model of hematogenous implant-related Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infection reveals therapeutic targets [Applied Biological Sciences]

Infection is a major complication of implantable medical devices, which provide a scaffold for biofilm formation, thereby reducing susceptibility to antibiotics and complicating treatment. Hematogenous implant-related infections following bacteremia are particularly problematic because they can occur at any time in a previously stable implant. Herein, we developed a model of...
