## Abstract Most infections due to implanted cardiovascular biomaterials are initiated by bacterial adhesion of __Staphylococcus epidermidis__, followed by colonization and biofilm formation on the surface of the implant. This study examined the role of serum proteins and material surface chemistry

## Abstract __Ica__βexpression by __Staphylococcus epidermidis__ and slime production depends on environmental conditions such as implant material and presence of antibiotics. Here, we evaluate biofilm formation and __ica__βexpression of __S. epidermidis__ strains on biomaterials involved in total
## Abstract The formation of biofilm, a structured community of bacteria enclosed in slime, is a significant virulence factor in medicalβdeviceβcentered infection. The development of cardiovascular device infection can be separated into two phases: initial bacterial adhesion and aggregation, follow
