Application of a feasible method for determination of biofilm antimicrobial susceptibility in …

Biofilm production is an important mechanism that allows microbes to escape host defences
and antimicrobial therapy. Vancomycin has been used largely for the treatment of methicillin …

The in vitro killing effect of widely used antibiotics (cephalothin, clindamycin, erythromycin,
ofloxacin, rifampicin, teicoplanin, tetracycline, phosphomycin and vancomycin) was …

Biofilm is one of the known virulence factors of staphylococci, a human and animal pathogen
and commensal. Some of the strains become invasive under favorable conditions while …

The production of biofilms is a critical factor in facilitating the survival of Staphylococcus spp.
in vivo and in protecting against various environmental noxa. The possible relationship …

AIMS: To evaluate three in vitro phenotypic methods; tissue culture plate, tube method, and
Congo red agar for detection of biofilm formation in staphylococci and assess the relation of …

The tube test and the microtiter-plate test are the most frequently used techniques for
quantifying biofilm formation, an important indicator for the pathogenicity of staphylococci …

Objectives This study evaluated vancomycin susceptibility and activity alone and in
combination with rifampicin and tigecycline against low-biofilm-and high-biofilm-producing …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate three methods for detection of biofilm
formation in staphylococci. Methods: For detection of biofilm formation, 152 clinical isolates …

Objective Staphylococcus genus comprising both Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase
negative staphylococci (CoNS) are widely distributed in nature and can infect diversity of …
