Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of Camphor extract ,against biofilm formation of clinical isolates Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus lentus .by detecting the presence and absence of virulence genes that responsible for the biofilm formation after treatment  with Camphor  extract. .thirty isolates were diagnosed initially as Staphylococci then selected five isolates depending on resistance to different type of antibiotics as virulence .After that the isolates test by VITEK-2compact system (ID and AST) to confirm the species of Staphylococci .The diagnostic result showed that three isolates belong to Staphylococcus aureus and two to Staphylococcus lentus. Investigation of the ability of camphor oil to inhibit the growth of bacteria using diffusion method in Muller Hinton agar ,the results showed the effect of camphor oil to prevent biofilm formation  on both bacterial species with concentration (0.1 g/ml ).
