Meanings of ica in English

Methodology: Thirty-seven staphylococci strains were evaluated by detecting the icaA gene.

In this study we evaluated the presence of the icaA gene in strains of Staphylococcus spp.

In four methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates, environmental activation of icaADBC did not always correlate with increased biofilm production.

We evaluated the hypothesis that the ica operon and biofilm production are associated with CoNS disease in this setting.

Changes of ica genes detected by PCR were confirmed by southern hybridization, and their nucleotides were analyzed by DNA sequencing.

There were no significant differences in the presence of the ica operon or CRA positivity among the four groups of strains.

The polysaccharide adhesion mechanism encoded by the ica operon is currently the best understood mediator of biofilm development, and represents an important virulence determinant.

Deletion or substitution of these 5 nucleotides within the wild-type ica locus augmented transcription of the ica locus and induced the strong biofilm-producing phenotype.

While ica gene of Staphylococcus epidermidis is known to undergo phase variation by insertion of IS256, the phenomenon in Staphylococcus aureus has not been evaluated.

Sequence analysis revealed a 5-nucleotide deletion within the promoter region of the ica locus in MN8m compared with the sequence in the wild-type locus.

Mobilised ICA representatives will work with local agencies, services and affected policyholders.

Possible recanalization of the occluded ICA within the first month was evaluated.

ICA declined to comment on a list of questions submitted by Reuters.

Conversely, stent placement in the proximal ICA was associated with reperfusion success.

The aneurysm was removed and the wall of the ICA was reconstructed.
