Abstract

One hundred of bacterial isolates, were identified as a CoNS represented by 53% S. haemolyticus, 26% S. epidermidis and 21% S. hominis. the results showed that only 93% of isolates were phenotypically biofilm formation in Christensen tube and TS-Congo red agar methods, PCR technique revealed that 93% of CoNS isolates carried aap gene and 98% of isolates were expressed icaA and icaD genes.
