Comparison of Tissue Culture Plate, Congo red Agar and Tube Methods for Evaluation of Biofilm Formation among Uropathogenic E. coli Isolates

Background and Aims: Microorganisms within biofilms,, formed on medical devices in the body are highly resistant to antimicrobial compounds and host responses and play a major role in nosocomial infections, especially urinary tract infections (UTIs). Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) causes 50%...
