Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis is mediated by icaADBC-dependent and -independent pathways. The icaADBC operon involves the production of polysaccharide intercellular adhesin. Of 125 clinical isolates of S. epidermidis, 87% (105) isolates were resistant to macrolide antibiotics. Subinhibitory erythromycin, azithromycin and..
