Soluble factors produced by Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. A) Representative SEM images of S. aureus strain UAMS1 (top panel) and SAMMC −700 (bottom panel) after 48 hr growth (scale bars =10 μm). B) Total protein (μg/mL) within the BCMs of S. aureus clinical strains as determined by the BCA assay. C) Proteomic analysis of BCM from S. aureus strain SAMMC-700 by mass spectroscopy. Proteins identified within the BCM were separated into functional categories, and represented as a percentage of the total proteins identified.
