Short summary
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most challenging complications following total joint arthroplasty. PJI infections are primarily caused by antibiotic-tolerant biofilms on the surface of the implant. Bacterial toxin antitoxin systems are believed to play a critical role in biofilm antibiotic tolerance and resistance. The objective of this study was to identify the role of the S. aureus toxin YoeB in biofilm formation, antibiotic susceptibility, and virulence.
