Molecular Genetics of Staphylococcus Epidermidis Biofilms on Indwelling Medical Devices

1 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic pathogen associated with foreign body infections and nosocomial sepsis. The pathogenicity of S. epidermidis is mostly due to its ability to colonize indwelling polymeric devices and form a thick, multilayered biofilm. Biofilm formation is a major problem in treating S. epidermidis infection as biofilms provide significant resistance to antibiotics and to components...
