FIG. 1
Comparison of oligonucleotides specific for S. epidermidis as used by Arciola et al. (1) for icaA and icaD detection with homologous sequences of different S. aureus strains. The primers were derived from the icaADBC sequence data of S. epidermidis RP62A (GenBank accession no. U43366). The homologous sequences of the icaADBC locus of S. aureus ATCC 35556 (GenBank accession no. AF086783), S. aureus Mu50 (localized in section 9/9; DDBJ accession no. AP003366), and S. aureus N315 (localized in section 10/10; DDBJ accession no. AP003138) are aligned. Base mismatches are in boldface.
