BACKGROUND: @entity23819 is a common bacterial pathogen in @entity235 with @entity6793 , @entity12088 . OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biofilm-producing ability for @entity3256 -resistant (MRSP) and @entity3256 -susceptible (MSSP) @entity23819 isolates from healthy @entity235 . ANIMALS AND METHODS: Ninety-two isolates, consisting of 40 MRSPs and 52 MSSPs, were included in the study. Biofilm production was determined using a quantitative adherence assay in 96-well tissue culture plates and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting icaA and icaD genes. The prevalence of @entity3256 -resistance in the isolated @entity23819 was calculated using standard equations. The presence of @entity3256 resistance (MR) and biofilm-producing ability between nasal- and ocular-origin @entity23819 was compared using the chi-square (  (2)) test. The associations between the degree of biofilm production and the presence of @entity3256 -resistance or sample origin were determined using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: All of the MRSP and MSSP isolates were able to produce biofilms, and 93.5% of the isolates were strong or moderate biofilm producers, regardless of the presence of @entity3256 -resistance or source. @entity3256 -resistance was more prevalent in nasal isolates. There was no association between the presence of icaA/icaD and biofilm production. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study indicate a high prevalence of biofilm-producing @entity23819 in healthy @entity235 in South Korea, which may have a significant influence to @entity4409 .
