dc.description.abstractEffect of magnesium, calcium and EDTA on slime production by 15 slime-positive and 13 slime-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from various clinical specimens was determined. The slime production on tryptic soy broth was significantly enhanced after addition of 128 mumol/L Mg2+. Similarly, the addition of Ca2+ caused a significant increase in slime production of all tested strains when concentration of Ca2+ exceeded 64 mumol/L. In contrast, in the presence of EDTA the slime production by all strains was significantly reduced. Hence Ca2+ and Mg2+ increase slime production of S. epidermidis. This finding is important in the context of the pathogenesis of biomedical implant infections caused by S. epidermidis.en_US
