Detection of biofilm-forming strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus.

Expert review of molecular diagnostics - 1 Sept 2002

Arciola Carla Renata, Campoccia Davide, Montanaro Lucio

Abstract excerpt

The formation of biofilm represents an important virulence factor of certain strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus. The ability of bacteria to aggregate, forming biofilms, is strictly related to the capacity of producing an extracellular mucoid substance often referred to as slime, whose main component is of polysaccharidic nature and consists of glycosaminoglycans. In recent years, new molecular...
