Exopolysaccharides play a crucial role in the formation of biofilms and biofilm resistance to antimicrobials and innate host defense. Here we describe methods to analyze and quantify polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA), a biofilm exopolysaccharide made of N -acetylglucosamine that is found in staphylococci and many other bacterial biofilm-forming pathogens.
