Glucose effect on biofilm formations of S. aureus strains
Abstract
Biofilm formations of 25 S.aureus strains isolated from raw milk samples were investigated on microtitration plates using TSB and TSB media supplemented with glucose (0.25%, 1.0%, or 2.0%, w/v). Biofilm formations were monitored for 48 hours. The biofilm formations of S.aureus isolates incubated in TSB were generally found to be moderate (84%). Majority of strong biofilm formations (84-96%) were determined by S.aureus strains incubated in the presence of glucose. It was shown that the presence of glucose had positive effect on S.aureus biofilm formations.
