Biofilm formation by<i>ica</i>-positive and<i>ica</i>-negative strains of<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis in vitro</i>

6 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a clinically important opportunistic pathogen that forms biofilm infections on nearly all types of indwelling medical devices. The biofilm forming capability of S. epidermidis has been linked to the presence of the ica operon in the genome, and the amount of biofilm formation measured by the crystal violet (CV) adherence assay. Six S. epidermidis strains were characterized for their...
