Description
These cultures were grown to examine the differences in Agr-regulated virulence factor gene expression between wild-type S. aureus FRI1169 and a non-hemolytic variant isolated from a biofilm inoculated with FRI1169. The study is described more thoroughly in the paper "Generation of virulence factor variants in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms", Yarwood et al., J. Bacteriol. 2007.
