Evidence for autolysin‐mediated primary attachment of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> to a polystyrene surface

1 Jun 1997

Abstract excerpt

Biofilm formation on a polymer surface which involves initial attachment and accumulation in multilayered cell clusters (intercellular adhesion) is proposed to be the major pathogenicity factor in Staphylococcus epidermidis foreign-body-associated infections. We have characterized two distinct classes of biofilm-negative Tn917 mutants in S. epidermidis affected in initial attachment (class A) or intercellular...
