Detection of slime production by means of an optimised Congo red agar plate test based on a colourimetric scale in Staphylococcus epidermidis clinical isolates genotyped for ica locus.
Carla Renata Arciola,Davide Campoccia,S. Gamberini,M. Cervellati,Elena Donati,Lucio Montanaro +5 more
TL;DR: Comparison of colour classification with the information on ica genes confirmed the validity of the scale adopted, providing support to the criteria used for a correct interpretation of the colonies colour during the execution of the CRA test.

Prevalence of cna, fnbA and fnbB adhesin genes among Staphylococcus aureus isolates from orthopedic infections associated to different types of implant
TL;DR: The finding that, among the investigated adhesins, fibronECTin-adhesins are present in the majority of the implant associated S. aureus clinical isolates encourages the development of strategies to specifically block the interaction of bacteria with matrix fibronectin by antagonist ligands.

Detection of biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis from implant infections. Comparison of a PCR-method that recognizes the presence of ica genes with two classic phenotypic methods.
Carla Renata Arciola,Davide Campoccia,Lucilla Baldassarri,M. E. Donati,Valter Pirini,S. Gamberini,Lucio Montanaro +6 more
TL;DR: The better agreement between the CRA plate test with the molecular detection of ica genes indicates the former as a reliable test for the phenotypic characterization of virulence of clinical isolates, however, MtP method remains a precious tool for the in vitro screening of different biomaterials for the adhesive properties using a reference strain.

Cell death induced by metal ions: Necrosis or apoptosis?
Donatella Granchi,Elisabetta Cenni,Gabriela Ciapetti,Lucia Savarino,S. Stea,S. Gamberini,A. Gori,Arturo Pizzoferrato +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that when large amounts of nickel and cobalt are released from implanted metal devices, necrosis is produced and consequently a strong inflammatory tissue reaction is likely to occur.

A multiplex PCR method for the detection of all five individual genes of ica locus in Staphylococcus epidermidis. A survey on 400 clinical isolates from prosthesis-associated infections
Carla Renata Arciola,S. Gamberini,Davide Campoccia,Livia Visai,Pietro Speziale,Lucilla Baldassarri,Lucio Montanaro +6 more
TL;DR: The ica locus proves to be a cluster of strictly linked genes, without any evidence of single gene deletion, in Staphylococcus epidermidis clinical isolates.
