Biofilm production, quorum sensing system and analysis of virulence factors of Staphylococcus epidermidis collected from sheep milk samples

In conclusion, this study provides a detailed characterization of the putative virulence genes present in S. epidermidis strains circulating in Sardinian sheep. Because of their role in ovine mastitis pathogenesis, these might represent valuable candidates for vaccine development.
