1H, 15N, and 13C chemical shift backbone resonance NMR assignment of the accumulation-associated protein (Aap) lectin domain from Staphylococcus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the leading causative agent for hospital-acquired infections, especially device-related infections, due to its ability to form biofilms. The accumulation-associated protein (Aap) of S. epidermidis is primarily responsible for biofilm formation and consists of two domains, A and B. It was found that the A domain is responsible for the attachment to the abiotic/biotic surface, whereas the B domain is responsible for the accumulation of bacteria during biofilm...
