Preliminary study on total protein extraction methods from Enterococcus faecalis biofilm
“Preliminary study on total protein extraction methods from Enterococcus faecalis biofilm”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, Enterococcus faecalis is the major pathogen of post-endodontic disease and refractory periapical periodontitis, and recent research on this species has focused on its pathogenicity. E. faecalis most often causes disease in the form of a biofilm, and total protein expression shows a strong association with its virulence. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore different methods of extracting the total proteins of the E. faecalis (ATCC 33186 standard strain) biofilm.
