Multifaceted suppression of staphylococcal virulence: in vitro study of a cellular status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm

Nghi Bao Nguyen, Yuri Ushijima, Kazuya Morikawa, Le Thuy Thi Nguyen

This study shows that sappanwood extract reduces Agr activity and biofilm in Staphylococcus aureus by suppressing virulence factors and altering extracellular components.

SCCmec transformation requires living donor cells in mixed biofilms

Mais Maree, Yuri Ushijima, Pedro B. Fernandes…·Kazuya Morikawa

This study shows that SCCmec transfer in biofilms is significantly enhanced by using living donor cells, with frequencies up to 10^-2, and is mediated by the Ccr-attB system.
