adhesion

Objective. To study pathogenic factors (adhesion and biofilm formation) in F. solani isolated from skin of patients Materials and methods. A total of 86 strains of F. solani isolated from the skin of patients with a diagnosis of L30.3 “Infectious dermatitis” were selected. The reference strain F. solani F-819 was used for quality control. Samples were collected using a sterile cotton swab from an area of 5 × 5 cm.

Objective. To study the colonization activity of clinical strains of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) against various types of urological catheters. Materials and Methods. Biofilms of E. coli (n = 6) were formed for 24 h according to the standard method. Urological catheters made from latex, polyvinylchloride, silicon and silver-coated silicon were used as a surface for bacterial colonization. The surface roughness and hydrophobicity, biofilm mass, number of colony forming units in biofilm, and frequency of conjugation were assessed.
