Characterization of a proteinaceous adhesin of Staphylococcus epidermidis which mediates attachment to polystyrene.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have evolved into important agents of foreign body-related infections. Adhesion of causative bacteria to biomaterials is considered to be an essential step in these infections. We and others have shown that adhesion of CoNS to biomaterials may be mediated by p...
