Phenotypic variation of Staphylococcus epidermidis in infection of transvenous endocardial pacemaker electrodes.

Abstract excerpt

Coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from a patient with a pacemaker electrode infection were extensively evaluated by phenotypic and genotypic characterization. Findings from this evaluation were striking because different colony morphologic subtypes were recovered from blood and resected pacemaker electrodes. Staphylococci from each colony subtype (LBL, LBV, LBP, LBS) were identified as slime-producing...
