چکیده

The development of biofilms in static plates was monitored. Glass coupons were placed on agar covered with filter paper, which was inoculated with suspended bacteria. The viable cell density, biofilms matrix and biomass were quantified. The method is excellent for adhesion and material studies, due to its simplicity and flexibility.

Lipase, protease, and biofilm as the major virulence factors in staphylococci isolated from acne lesions.

Staphylococci involve infections in association with a number of bacterial virulence factors. Extracellular enzymes play an important role in staphylococcal pathogenesis. In addition, biofilm is known to be associated with their virulence. In this study, 149 staphylococcal isolates from acne lesions were investigated for their virulence factors including lipase, protease, and biofilm formation....

Comparison of Congo Red Agar methods and tube turbidity in biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from cases of urinary tract infections in Samen Al-Aeme Hospital Bojnourd

Introduction Biofilm can be called a bacterial community that often forms on living or non-living surfaces and is common in natural, industrial, and hospital environments. Klebsiella pneumoniae as a pathogen has the potential to produce biofilms. Understanding biofilm formation in biofilm-forming bacteria is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofilm formation in isolates ...
