Occurrence of Capsular Polysaccharide/Adhesin among Clinical Isolates of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci were analyzed for elaboration of the capsular polysaccharide/adhesion (PS/A) and extracellular biofilm or slime. Of the 151 analyzed, 103 (68%) produced PS/A and 69 (46%) made extracellular slime; 87% of the slime-producing isolates made PS/A. Among isolates from all clinical infections examined except peritonitis, PS/A-positive isolates bound significantly (P...
