The phenotypes and genotypes associated with biofilm formation among methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolates collected from a tertiary hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia.

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen worldwide. This study aims to investigate the in vitro biofilm-forming ability of clinical MSSA isolated from various sources in the main public tertiary referral hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia and to detect the presence of biofilm-associated and regulatory genes among these isolates.
