Abstract

- Serum protein adsorption decreases adhesion forces between Staphylococcus aureus and an abiotic surface.
- Initial adsorption of serum proteins decreases adhesion forces between S. aureus and hyphal surfaces.
- Non-adhesive proteins on hyphal surfaces are exchanged over time by fibronectin, yielding strong staphylococcal adhesion forces.
