Here, we investigated this process by measuring the effects of sub-MIC amoxicillin on biofilm formation by the epidemic community-associated MRSA strain USA300. We found that sub-MIC amoxicillin increased the ability of USA300 cells to attach to surfaces and form biofilms under both static and flow conditions. We also found that USA300 biofilms cultured in sub-MIC amoxicillin were thicker, contained more pillar and channel structures, and were less porous than biofilms cultured without antibiotic. Biofilm formation in sub-MIC amoxicillin correlated with the production of extracellular DNA (eDNA). However, eDNA released by amoxicillin-induced cell lysis alone was evidently not sufficient to stimulate biofilm.

Our results link cell wall stress and biofilm formation in MRSA and suggest that eDNA-dependent biofilm formation by strain USA300 in low-dose amoxicillin is an inducible phenotype that can be used to identify novel genes impacting MRSA \u03b2-lactam resistance and biofilm formation.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.02070-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,9]],"date-time":"2016-02-09T04:33:28Z","timestamp":1454992408000},"page":"2639-2651","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Effects of Low-Dose Amoxicillin on Staphylococcus aureus USA300 Biofilms"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Kevin D.","family":"Mlynek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary T.","family":"Callahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anton V.","family":"Shimkevitch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jackson T.","family":"Farmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Endres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00e9lodie","family":"Marchand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth W.","family":"Bayles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander R.","family":"Horswill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey B.","family":"Kaplan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, American University, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cit613"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijmm.2013.02.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"207","article-title":"Staphylococcal biofilms","volume":"322","author":"Otto M","year":"2008","unstructured":"Otto M. 2008.
