Detection of Biofilm Production and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern among Clinically Isolated .

Aim: The increasing antibiotic resistance and the ability to form biofilms in medical devices have become the leading cause of severe infections associated with (). Since the bacteria living in biofilms can exhibit 10- to 1,000-fold increase in antibiotic resistance and implicate chronic infectious diseases, the detection of ability to form biofilms is of great importance for managing, minimizing, and effectively treating infections caused by it. This study aimed to compare the tube and tissue culture methods to detect biofilm production and antibiotic susceptibility in MRSA and MSSA.
