Biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus under in vitro growth conditions is generally
promoted by high concentrations of sugar and/or salts. The addition of glucose to routinely …

Infections due to coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) most frequently occur after the
implantation of medical devices and are attributed to the biofilm-forming potential of CoNS …

Antibiotic resistance and biofilm-forming capacity contribute to the success of
Staphylococcus aureus as a human pathogen in both healthcare and community settings …

In S. aureus biofilms, bacteria are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) and are highly tolerant to antimicrobial drugs. We thus sought to identify …

Staphylococcus aureus produces biofilm and this mode of colonization facilitates infections
that are often difficult to treat and engender high morbidity and mortality. We have exploited …

Staphylococcus aureus is a proficient biofilm former on host tissues and medical implants.
We mutagenized S. aureus strain SH1000 to identify loci essential for ica-independent …

Staphylococcus aureus biofilms represent a unique micro-environment that directly
contribute to the bacterial fitness within hospital settings. The accumulation of this structure …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to observe the formation of biofilm, an important
virulence factor, by isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in Pakistan by different …

The icaADBC gene locus of Staphylococcus aureus and its polysaccharide intercellular
adhesin (PIA/PNSG) were recently identified, but biofilm formation has rarely been detected …

Twenty-five methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates were characterized
by staphylococcal protein A gene typing and the ability to form biofilms. The presence of …
