The current study confirmed that a large majority of S. epidermidis isolated from RTE food contained the atlE, aap and embP genes, as previously described for S. epidermidis isolated from blood infections associated with catheter and prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), or for the commensal S. epidermidis, for which the proteins are important, both in infection and in colonization [48]. The gene discussed is PRG2; the disease is infection.
