Expression of slime interferes with in vitro detection of host protein receptors of Staphylococcus epidermidis

L Baldassarri et al. Infect Immun. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

We hypothesized that slime may mask bacterial molecules important in the attachment of Staphylococcus epidermidis to inanimate surfaces. In support of this hypothesis, we found that slime-negative strains attached significantly better to fibrinogen or fibronectin than the parent strains and exhibited greater surface hydrophobicity. Comparable results were obtained with 53 clinical isolates.
