Modelling the effects of temperature, pH and osmotic shifts on the autofluorescence of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in vitro
Our findings indicate that temperature, pH, and osmotic pressure significantly affect the autofluorescence of <i>S. aureus</i> by modulating porphyrin accumulation through <i>hemB</i> gene expression. These environmental factors should be considered when using bacterial fluorescence for wound infection assessment.
