2 Abstract: Biofilm-associated infections are becoming more common and occur largely because of the increase usage of indwelling medical devices (for example, the catheter). Bacterial biofilms, which are micro-colonies encased in extracellular polysaccharide material (slime) are the sources of many bacterial infections which is so difficult to respond to routine treatments, also, shed cells or disrupted parts of the biofilm may enter the circulation causing serious and very hard to treat…

A study of biofilm production in clinical isolates of Staphylococci at a tertiary care hospital, Bangalore -
TLDR
Treatment of methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococci is one of the most challenging task for the clinicians and the microbiologists so they should be routinely screened for biofilm formation in order to prevent emergence and spread of multidrug resistant strains.
Characterization of Some Genotypic and Phenotypic Traits of Biofilm Producing Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Epidermidis
TLDR
This study indicates that the presence of icaADBC gene is not always associated with in-vitro formation of biofilm, and although Vancomycin and Linezolid continued to be effective for planktonic MRSE infection, their sub-MIC concentrations can induce biofilm formation.
Phenotypic evaluation of biofilm producing ability in Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
TLDR
Investigation of biofilm production ability among isolated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in patients with different types of clinical infection found a higher correlation coefficient between the results obtained from crystalviolet-treated microtiter plates with two reading methods.
Prevalence of Biofilm Formation Among Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From Nasal Carriers
TLDR
High rate of MRSA nasal carrier and having the ability of biofilm formation which decrease their susceptibility to antibiotics, is an alarming for public health.
Detection of Intracellular Adhesion (ica) Gene and Biofilm Formation Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Clinical Blood Cultures
TLDR
The aims of this study were to detect intracellular adhesion (ica) locus and its relation to the biofilm formation phenotype in clinical isolates of S. aureus isolated from blood.
Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Planktonic and Biofilm Cells of Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci
TLDR
Linezolid was the most effective drug in inhibiting staphylococci in the biofilm, without an increase in the MIC, when compared to planktonic cells, and none of the isolates were resistant to this drug.
Biofilm-Producing Ability and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Pathogenic Strains of Aeromonas hydrophila
TLDR
An important correlation was detected between the biofilm-producing level (moderate and strong) and antibiotic resistance against tetracycline, oxytetracyCline, and amoxicillin and more studies are needed for understanding the main route.
Antibiotic Pattern of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Chronic Wound of Fisherman Community
TLDR
The epidemiological data showed that males were more prone to infection and with regard to age group adults were moreprone to infection, while the antibiotic patterns of these isolates were studied using twenty four antibiotic disks.
Comparison Study on Colonization of hilA Mutant and Parent Strains of Salmonella enteritidis in Vertically Infected Broiler Chickens
TLDR
The ability of hilA mutant to multiply and persist in host internal organs including ceaca may promise further research for potential to prevent the initial colonization of the intestinal tract by a virulent S. enteritidis strain.

In vitro activity of vancomycin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, and linezolid against intact and disrupted biofilms of staphylococci
TLDR
The difficulty of treating biofilm-associated infections may be attributed not only to the difficulty of eradicating the biofilm focus but also to the lack of susceptibility of cells disrupted from the biofilms to antimicrobial agents.
Effect of vancomycin hydrochloride on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm associated with silicone elastomer.
TLDR
Data indicate that the biofilm organisms associated with an indwelling peritoneal catheter may display a form of tolerance, thereby suggesting one possible mechanism behind relapsing peritonitis.
Culture-Independent Microbiological Analysis of Foley Urinary Catheter Biofilms
TLDR
A culture-independent bacterial survey of Foley urinary catheters obtained from patients following total prostatectomy indicates the presence of diverse polymicrobial assemblages that were most commonly observed in patients who did not receive systemic antibiotics.
Microbial inactivation properties of a new antimicrobial/antithrombotic catheter lock solution (citrate/methylene blue/parabens)
TLDR
The new multicomponent lock solution has strong antimicrobial properties against both planktonic and sessile microorganisms, and may have usefulness in preventing bacterial colonization of haemodialysis catheters and diminishing the incidence of catheter-related bacteraemia.
Effect of Electrical Current on the Activities of Antimicrobial Agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis Biofilms
TLDR
The results of these experiments indicate that the enhancement of the activity of antimicrobial agent against biofilm organisms by EC is not a generalizable phenomenon across microorganisms and antimicrobial agents.
The inhibition of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation by vancomycin-modified titanium alloy and implications for the treatment of periprosthetic infection.
Adherence of slime-producing strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis to smooth surfaces
TLDR
The results suggest that slime-mediated adherence may be a critical factor in the pathogenesis of S. epidermidis infections of medical devices.
Antibiotic susceptibility assay for Staphylococcus aureus in biofilms developed in vitro.
TLDR
Transmission electron microscopy revealed that cells at the inner biofilm layers tend to remain intact after antibiotic treatment and that TSB-grown biofilms favoured a uniformity of cell distribution and increased cell density in comparison with milk-grownBiofilm aged revealed a reduced matrix distribution and enhanced cell density were observed as the biofilm aged.
In Vitro Activities of Telavancin and Vancomycin against Biofilm-Producing Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecalis Strains
TLDR
Telavancin may have a unique role in biofilm-associated infections and vancomycin did not demonstrate the same activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis.
Method of evaluating effects of antibiotics on bacterial biofilm
TLDR
A simple method of studying the effect of antibiotics on bacteria in established biofilms is reported and a combination containing 400 micrograms of each antibiotic per ml decreased the viable counts to an undetectable level in 24 h.
