Versatility of Biofilm Matrix Molecules in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus epidermidis</named-content> Clinical Isolates and Importance of Polysaccharide Intercellular Adhesin Expression during High Shear Stress

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus epidermidis is a leading cause of hospital-associated infections, including those of intravascular catheters, cerebrospinal fluid shunts, and orthopedic implants. Multiple biofilm matrix molecules with heterogeneous characteristics have been identified, including proteinaceou...
