This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa proteases cleave SasG in Staphylococcus aureus to induce aggregation and biofilm formation in chronic wound co-infections.

This study identifies SasG-II, a variant of the S. aureus surface protein, which binds to a broader range of ligands, enhancing its ability to colonize skin.

This study develops a cost-effective media to mimic the human skin environment and shows it enhances the expression of virulence factors in MRSA.
