Adhesion to fibrinogen-coated (A) or fibronectin-coated (B) coverslips of methicillin-resistant transformants of S. aureus BB255 (closed symbols) and Newman (open symbols). Susceptible strain BB255, Mcr mutant strain BB859 derived from BB255; susceptible strain Newman, Mcr mutant strain BB1003 derived from Newman. Strain EK872 is the methicillin-resistant clinical isolate donor of the mec element to BB255. SEM, standard error of the mean.
