Genomic characterization of two Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteriophages with anti-biofilm potential

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal bacterium but can colonize the hospital environment due to its ability to form biofilms favouring adhesion to host tissues, medical devices and increasing resistance to antibiotics. In this context, the use of phages to destroy biofilms is an int...
