Blood Serum Affects Polysaccharide Production and Surface Protein Expression in S. Aureus

A biofilms are micro Colonies of bacteria adhere to each other and to biotic or biotic surfaces, embedded in an extracellular matrix produced by the sessile bacterial cells [1]. Extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM proteins in bacterial biofilm play crucial roles in contaminating the agricultural produce starting from the field to the packing. In addition, ECM mediates adhesions protect bacteria from external threats and other stressors of adverse environment. Some of the ECM enzymes hydrolyze macro biomolecules into smaller biomolecules which subsequently is taken up by bacteria [2,3].
