Abstract excerpt
We investigated the correlation between biofilm production and the accessory-gene-regulator (agr) in 29 strains isolated from catheter-associated infections compared to a control group (30 isolates). All strains were tested for their ability to produce biofilm in a static system, and their agr genotype was determined. ScaI-restriction fragment length polymorphism for agr-typing showed that strong...
