Figure 2 PCR amplification of ica and 16S rRNA gene fragments of S. epidermidis strains. Molecular weight marker (DNA Molecular Weight Marker VIII, Roche Diagnostics, Mannhein, Germany), followed by S. epidermidis RP62A, A285, A283, A205, A73, A62, A204, A211, A250 and A315, each amplified with ica primers and 16S rRNA primers, respectively. The last lane is a negative control without DNA.
