Abstract excerpt
The adherence ability and biofilm production are the characteristic of enhanced virulence among isolates of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains. Although biofilm-forming properties have been well demonstrated in S. aureus, they still remain unclear among the recently emerged types of VISA strains. The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between the distribution of genes...
