Biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices represents an exclusive evasion
mechanism for many pathogenic bacteria to establish chronic infections. Staphylococcus …

The role of Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants (SCVs) in the pathogenesis of
biofilm-associated infections remains unclear. This study investigated the mechanism …

Many serious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus appear to be associated with
biofilms. Therefore, we investigated the biofilm-forming ability of the methicillin-resistant S …

As with many other bacterial species, the most commonly used method to assess
staphylococcal biofilm formation in vitro is the microtiter plate assay. This assay is …

Biofilm formation is the leading cause of the pathogenesis of S. aureus associated with
biomaterial infections. In S. aureus polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) was encoded …

Background Microbial biofilms have been associated with the development of chronic
human infections and represent a clinical challenge given their increased antimicrobial …

Aim To assess the biofilm‐producing capacities of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated
from hospitalized patients in Israel. Methods and Results A total of 16 S. aureus (80 MRSA …

Background Biofilm formation is a major virulence factor contributing to the chronicity of
infections. To date few studies have evaluated biofilm formation in infecting isolates of …

Staphylococcus aureus, a notorious human pathogen, is a major cause of the community as
well as healthcare associated infections. It can cause a diversity of recalcitrant infections …

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive bacterium commonly associated with
