Correlation of biofilm expression types of Staphylococcus epidermidis with polysaccharide intercellular adhesin synthesis: evidence for involvement of icaADBC genotype-independent factors.

Abstract excerpt

IcaADBC-encoded proteins mediate synthesis of the intercellular polysaccharide adhesin (PIA), which is essentially involved in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation. Seventy S. epidermidis isolates were investigated for their ability to form biofilm and synthesize PIA in different growth media including trypticase soy broth obtained from Becton Dickinson (TSBBBL), or Oxoid (TSB(OXOID)), and TSB(OXOID)...
