Abstract

The authors tested for "slime" elaboration 48 S. epidermidis s.s. strains; 24 of these strains were isolated from bloodstream infections and 24 from resident cutaneous microbiota. The semiquantitative method of Christensen was used for testing "slime" elaboration. The predictive value of the positive test of "slime" elaboration was 92% in this study.
