Cell Membrane Immunogens of a Biofilm-producing Staphylococcus aureus Isolate Adjuvanted with Bacterial Chromosomal DNA Are Protective in a Mouse Mastitis Model
Abstract: Biofilm-forming staphylococci have been implicated in persistent bovine udder infections. Prophylactic potential of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm phenotype-associated immunogens in mouse models of systemic, but not intramammary infections has been demonstrated. In the present study, the authors observed protection in a murine model of intramammary infection by two subcutaneous injections at four-week interval of biofilm-forming S. aureus cell membrane antigens mixed with homologous chromosomal DNA as adjuvant, when challenged after eight …
