Molecular Analysis of Immune Evasion Cluster (IEC) Genes and Intercellular Adhesion Gene Cluster (ica) Among Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Sensitive Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

The presence of icaADBC locus may not be a determining factor for biofilm formation in Staphtlocooci and other mechanisms might be involved in this process.The high prevalence IEC types in MSSA isolates can indicate that the presence of these genes can be an advantage for pathogenesis of these isolates in different infections.
