Clonal Analysis of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> Isolates Carrying or Lacking Biofilm-Mediating Genes by Multilocus Sequence Typing

1 Sept 2005

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the normal microflora of the human skin but is also a leading cause of device-associated infections in critically ill patients. Commensal and clinical S. epidermidis isolates differ in their ability to form biofilms on medical devices; the synthesis of biofilms is mediated by the icaADBC operon. Currently, the epidemiological relatedness between ica-positive and -negative...
