Detection some gene responsible for biofilm form by staph.epidermidis

By Nihad Khalawe Tektook

Twenty two (44) % of S. epidermidis has PIA gens while 28(56)% negatively for PIA gens, so 10, 8 of 30 S. epidermidis which isolated from blood culture were found to be positive for both IcaA and IcaD, most positive both PIA gene (Ica A, Ica D) and biofilm produced were 17 (77.3%) while negative for both of them and negative biofilm were 15(53.6%), whilst 5(22.7%) were positive for PIA gene and negative for phenotype (biofilm produce). So prevalence of IcaA, IcaD genes were 44%, 38% respectively, the results indicated that the IcaA gene had the highest rate in blood culture (33.3 %) and catheter urine specimen (45.4%) followed by IcaD gene which was detected in 26.7 % of blood culture while 36.3% of catheter urine specimen.
