## Abstract The relationship between adherence of bacteria to foreign boides and their deposition of extracellular matrix was examined on glass and suture material. To quantitate bacterial adherence, uptake of [^3^H] thymidine into bacterial DNA was analyzed. Corresponding amounts of extracellular
Expression of the icaADBC-encoded polysaccharide intercellular adhesion by Staphylococcus epidermidis promotes biofilm formation and represents an important virulence factor in biomaterial-related infections following orthopedic surgery. Biofilm development by the pathogen can be viewed as a protect
