SpoVG modulates cell aggregation by regulating sasC expression and eDNA release in Staphylococcus aureus.

This study has revealed that SpoVG can modulate cell aggregation by repressing sasC expression and eDNA release. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the potential linkage between cell aggregation and antibiotic resistance. Our findings provide novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms of SpoVG involved in cell aggregation, biofilm development and formation in Staphylococcus aureus.
