Staphylococcus epidermidis alters macrophage polarization and phagocytic uptake by extracellular DNA release in vitro

Abstract Biofilm formation shields Staphylococcus epidermidis from host defense mechanisms, contributing to chronic implant infections. Using wild-type S. epidermidis 1457, a PIA-negative mutant (1457-M10), and an eDNA-negative mutant (1457ΔatlE), this study examined the influence of biofilm matrix...
