Biofilm in methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The formation of biofilm is a life strategy for most bacteria, since it increases the possibilities of transfer of genetic material and resistance to antibiotics, participates in cellular communication and offers protection in adverse and variable environmental conditions; what contribute to a succe...

The formation of biofilm is a life strategy for most bacteria, since it increases the possibilities of transfer of genetic material and resistance to antibiotics, participates in cellular communication and offers protection in adverse and variable environmental conditions; what contribute to a successful colonization of the host.

Thirty isolates (13 sensitive and 17 resistants to methicillin) were studied by assay on cell culture microplates.
