Detection of icaA, icaD genes and biofilm production by Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from urinary tract catheterized patients
1 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Staphylococci are a common cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The present study evaluated biofilm forming capacity and the presence of both icaA and icaD genes among staphylococci strains isolated from patients undergoing ureteral catheterization. METHODOLOGY: Different bacterial strains were isolated from urine and stents segments collected from 100 patients. Strains were...
