Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dental clinic surfaces may serve as reservoirs for opportunistic pathogens that can survive environmental stress, persist on abiotic surfaces, and contribute to cross-contamination. This study investigated the phenotypic biofilm-forming capacity and selected biofilm-associated virulence genes of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. isolated from environmental surfaces in a university dental...
