A rapid PCR method for the detection of slime-producing strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus in periprosthesis infections.
2001
In periprosthesis tissues, Staphylococcus epidermidis produces extracellular polysaccharide slime. Recently it has been shown that S. aureus also produces slime and that both S. epidermidis and S. aureus contain the ica operon responsible for slime production. In the operon, icaA encodes for N-acety
