Within the genus, if Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis are prevalent species responsible for infections, several coagulase-negative species which are normal components of our microflora also constitute opportunistic pathogens that are able to infect patients. In such a clinical context, staphylococci producing biofilms show an increased resistance to antimicrobials and host immune defenses. Although the biochemical composition of the biofilm matrix has been extensively studied, the regulation of biofilm formation and the factors contributing to its stability and release are currently still being discovered. This review presents and discusses the composition and some regulation elements of biofilm development and describes its clinical importance. Finally, we summarize the numerous and various recent studies that address attempts to destroy an already-formed biofilm within the clinical context as a potential therapeutic strategy to avoid the removal of infected implant material, a critical event for patient convenience and health care costs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24065218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]],"date-time":"2023-03-09T02:33:16Z","timestamp":1678329196000},"page":"5218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Biology and Regulation of Staphylococcal Biofilm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0540-750X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrice","family":"Fran\u00e7ois","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Genomic Research Laboratory, Service of Infectious Diseases, Geneva and University Hospitals, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"},{"name":"Bacteriology Laboratory, Division of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Diagnostics, Geneva University Hospitals,1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques","family":"Schrenzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genomic Research Laboratory, Service of Infectious Diseases, Geneva and University Hospitals, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"},{"name":"Bacteriology Laboratory, Division of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Diagnostics, Geneva University Hospitals,1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Friedrich","family":"G\u00f6tz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbial Genetics, Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine T\u00fcbingen (IMIT), University of T\u00fcbingen, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2137","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.176.8.2137-2142.1994","article-title":"Biofilms, the customized microniche","volume":"176","author":"Costerton","year":"1994","journal-title":"J.
