The ica Locus of Staphylococcus epidermidis Encodes Production of the Capsular Polysaccharide/Adhesin

Clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci often elaborate a biofilm involved in adherence to medical devices and resistance to host defenses. The biofilm contains the capsular polysaccharide/adhesin (PS/A), which mediates cell adherence to biomaterials, and another antigen, termed polysa...
