Adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis and transposon mutant strains to hydrophobic polyethylene.

Journal of biomedical materials research - 5 Mar 1998

Higashi J M, Wang I W, Shlaes D M, Anderson J M, Marchant R E

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus epidermidis capsular polysaccharide adhesin (PS/A) and slime were studied as possible mediators of bacterial adhesion to NHLBI polyethylene (PE) under dynamic flow. This putative interaction was examined by quantifying the adhesion of M187 (PS/A+, slime+) parent strain and isogenic transposon mutant strain sn3 (PS/A-, slime-) to polyethylene (PE) under a range of physiologic shear stress conditions...
