Detection of Biofilm Production and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern among Clinically Isolated Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract excerpt

Aim. The increasing antibiotic resistance and the ability to form biofilms in medical devices have become the leading cause of severe infections associated with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Since the bacteria living in biofilms can exhibit 10- to 1,000-fold increase in antibiotic resistance and implicate chronic infectious diseases, the detection of S. aureus ability to form biofilms is of great importance...
