Biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from impetigo and furuncle: role of fibrinogen and fibrin

The formation of membranous structure (thickness from the plastic tissue-culture coverslip (hematoxylin-eosin) >1 mm; periodic acid-Schiff-positive) was more prominent with Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus) strains isolated from impetigo (coagulase types I·V origin) than with S. aureus strains i...
