Fourteen clinically relavent strains were assayed and cultivated in these media at different incubation periods. The optical density scores obtained from ELISA autoreader were evaluated statistically. Most of S.epidermis strains were capable of switching to high level slime production when subjected to these media. Particularly, the low slime producer group of S.epidermis was stimulated to high level slime production by these media and increasing incubation period decreased slime production differences among the low, moderate and strong slime producer groups.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword]Article134257267WOS:A1997YK007000072-s2.0-0031453214N/AQ4
