Biofilm Formation on Intraocular Lenses by a Clinical Strain Encoding the<i>ica</i>Locus: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

24 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To determine whether the Staphylococcus epidermidis strain carries the intercellular adhesion (ica) locus, which encodes production of adhesins mediating adherence to biomaterials and to study, with scanning electron microscopy, the morphologic features of this coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strain that adheres to intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction amplification was used to...
