Relationship between Alpha-toxin production and biofiJm for1nation by Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Eye's infections
Main Article Content
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen associated with eye·s
infections. S. aureus is capable of biofilm fonnation, which increases its persistence and boots its levels of antimicrobial resistance . A total of 50
- aureus isolated from eyes <>f patientwith eye's infection : 41( 82%)
isolates were positive - alpha tox in production and 37 (74 %) isolates were posilive - biofilm formation .Where as 32 (64%) isolates were positive - alpha toxin production .and biotilm formation, 11 (22%) Lsolatcs were negative- alpha toxin production and biofilm formation and 7(14%) isolates were showed different production. Rcsulets showed, high sigoificant association between alpha toxin producti·on and biofilm formation inS. aureus isolates.
