Bioflm formation by staphylococcus strains isolated from various biological materials at infectious complications following total knee replacement

Objective: to study Staphylococcus spp. Strains bioflm forming ability in vitro. These strains are infectious agents for implant-associated infection in patients following total knee replacement depending on the biomaterial under study. Material and Methods. Bioflm forming ability in vitro of 275 Staphylococcus spp. strains has been studied. Bioflm formation was performed using modiefed method of G. D. Christensen. Results. Bioflm forming ability was discovered in 51.2 % of the studied strains, at that it was reliably (p
