Disease relevance of icaD

The objectives of the study were to examine in vitro slime production, biofilm formation, and the presence of the ica gene locus and icaA and icaD genes in S. aureus isolates from bovine mastitis [1].

High impact information on icaD

The presence of icaA and icaD was not correlated with slime production on CRA [2].

Biological context of icaD

Twenty eight high virulence and 34 low virulence S. aureus isolates recovered from rabbits between 1998 and 2003 were used to study slime production on Congo red Agar (CRA) and prevalence of bap, icaA and icaD associated with biofilm formation [2].
