Biofilm formation is the leading cause of the pathogenesis of S. aureus associated with biomaterial infections. In S. aureus polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) was encoded by icaA and icaD genes. Production of PIA is currently responsible for staphylococcal biofilm development. In this study, S. aureus strains isolated from auricular infection (n = 46) and S. aureus ATCC 25923 were phenotyped and...
