Fig. 2From: Staphylococcus aureus biofilm organization modulated by YycFG two-component regulatory pathwayInitial comparison of MSSA and MRSA on the growth and morphology of S. aureus. a Gram’s stain for initial MRSA identification. b Comparison of MSSA and MRSA on bacterial growth. S. aureus ATCC29213 and MARSA were grown in TSB medium at 37 °C. c S. aureus 24-h biofilms grown in TSB broth containing 0.5% glucose. Biomass was quantified by crystal violet staining and the MRSA strains form more robust biofilm. d For crystal violet microtiter assay for determining biofilm biomass. Data represent ten biological replicates and are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (*p < 0.05, n = 10)Back to article page
