Biofilm formation by<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>clinical isolates correlates with the infection type

Abstract

S. aureus isolates from 'classical' biofilm-related infections, but also from superficial skin infections, are especially proficient in forming biofilms. There is, however, no obvious relation of biofilm-forming capacity of isolates and the clinical outcome of the infection, and more studies on this issue are needed.
