Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate biofilm formation on silicone tubes by genetically diverse methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. METHODS: Capacity of biofilm formation on dacryocystorhinostomy silicone tubes was tested on 30 MRSA strains. Identification and methicillin resistance were confirmed by PCR for nuc and mecA genes. Strains were genotypically characterised (SCCmec,...
