Screening of genes encoding adhesion factors and biofilm production in methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Palestinian patients
12 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intercellular adhesion and biofilm production by Staphylococcus aureus makes these bacteria resistant to antimicrobial therapy. Here, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains were characterized and the prevalence of genes encoding adhesion factors and biofilm formation was determined. RESULTS: All 248 MRSA isolates identified by cefoxitin disc diffusion were positive for the mecA...
