Comparative analysis between biofilm formation and gene expression in Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates

Aim: To understand the relationship between ica, aap and bhp gene expression and the implications in biofilm formation in selected clinical and commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates. Material & methods: Isolates were analyzed regarding their biofilm-forming capacity, biochemical matrix c...
