Abstract :

Biofilm is a microbial community which is embedded in extra cellular matrix.  The ability of microorganism to develop biofilm is an important virulence factor and they are main cause of many chronic infections.  They are responsible for the emergence of multi drug resistant strains resulting in treatment failure.  In the present study a total of 50 bacteria were isolated from various clinical samples viz. blood, urine and pus.  Out of 50 isolates 35 isolates were found to be biofilm producers after screening by Tube method (TM) and Congo Red Agar (CRA) method.  These isolates were identified by standard conventional methods, which reveals that the biofilm producers were belongs to Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
