Abstract
Around a third of healthy humans are carriers of Staphylococcus aureus, they have the bacteria on their skin without any active infection or disease. Despite being harmless in most individuals, S. aureus can cause pathogenic infections. It often exists in biofilms in human tissue, resulting in a biomolecular matrix that is largely impermeable to the immune system and many traditional antibiotics. The increased occurrence of community-acquired antibiotic-resistant S. aureus strains, often linked to biofilm formation, is a major health threat, requiring urgent development of new diagnostic and therapy options.
