Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus Aureus and its Relation to Phenotypic and Genotypic Criteria
Abstract Background and Objective: Biofilm is a complex microbial community embedded in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix. We aimed to study the extent of biofilm formation by S. Areas isolates and its relation to some phenotypic and genotypic criteria. Material and Methods: One hundred-fifty strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Gorgan were studied. Microtiter plate a...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of icaA, icaB, icaC and icaD Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Resistant to Methicillin
Background & Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens with high mortality rates. The Biofilm-dependent methicillin-resistant S. aureus remains a major clinical concern in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the icaABCD forming biofilm genes in methicillin resistant isolates of S. aureus. Materials and Methods: In study was per...
متن کاملAssociation between biofilm production, adhesion genes and drugs resistance in different SCCmec types of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from several major hospitals of Iran
Objective(s): The ability of bacteria to produce biofilm and adhesion makes them more resistant to antibiotics. The current study aims to evaluate the biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus and to determine the prevalence of adhesion genes, also their correlation with drug resistance.Materials and Methods: A total of 96 MRSA were collected from hospitals of Iran’s western provinces during 2...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation and Detection of IcaAB Genes in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Objective(s) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation, mediated by a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) and encoded by the ica operon, is considered to be an important virulence factor in both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. However, the clinical impact of the ica locus and PIA production is less w...
متن کاملDetection of icaABCD Genes and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Background & Objectives: Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important pathogens that causes several nosocomial and community infections. Adhesion to surfaces and biofilm formation is considered main step in staphylococcal infection. The aims of this study were to determine presence oficaABCD genes and relation to the biofilm formation in of...
