In catheter infections by Staphylococcus epidermidis the intercellular adhesion (ica) locus is a molecular marker of the virulent slime-producing strains.

Journal of biomedical materials research - 5 Mar 2002

Arciola Carla Renata, Baldassarri Lucilla, Montanaro Lucio

Abstract excerpt

Recently, it has been shown that S. epidermidis includes the ica operon responsible for slime production. In the operon, coexpression of icaA and icaD genes is required for full slime synthesis. In this study, the presence of icaA and icaD genes was searched for in a collection of 100 Staphylococcus epidermidis strains from catheter-associated infections by an original PCR method. Another 51 strains of S....
