Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of biofilm formation Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates from clinical specimens.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Staphylococcus epidermidis is the primary causative agent of infections associated with indwelling biomaterials. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns, Biofilm formation capability, and screening of responsible genes in biofilm formation procedure in clinical isolates (icaA, icaB, icaC, icaD, sdrG, and atlE) were assigned as the main objectives in this study. The clinical samples were analyzed via standard biochemical assays for identifying different bacteria which were confirmed using the multiplex colony PCR method. Subsequently, biofilm-formation capability, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and the frequency of genes responsible for biofilm formation in the confirmed strains were checked. RESULTS:Out of 183 clinical specimens 54 S. epidermidis isolates were detected by targeti
