## Abstract In __Staphylococcus epidermidis__, __ica__ locus encodes for the synthesis of a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (slime or biofilm). A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of the five individual genes of __ica__ locus was developed, with the aim to probe the s
