Standardization and classification of In vitro biofilm formation by clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

The present study puts forth a standardized <i>in vitro</i> TCP assay for biofilm biomass quantitation and categorization criteria for clinical isolates of <i>S. aureus</i> based on their biofilm-forming capacity. The proposed <i>in vitro</i> technique may be further evaluated for its usefulness in the management of persistent infections caused by the bacterium.
