Differential protein expression in Streptococcus uberis under planktonic and biofilm growth conditions

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2011 Jan;77(1):382-4. doi: 10.1128/AEM.01099-10. Epub 2010 Nov 12.

Abstract

The bovine pathogen Streptococcus uberis was assessed for biofilm growth. The transition from planktonic to biofilm growth in strain 0140J correlated with an upregulation of several gene products that have been shown to be important for pathogenesis, including a glutamine ABC transporter (SUB1152) and a lactoferrin binding protein (gene lbp; protein SUB0145).
