Key Findings

The study identified the presence of biofilm-associated genes ica AD, fnb A, and mec A in methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) isolates from both community and hospital environments. The ica AD gene was associated with biofilm formation, while the fnb A gene was prevalent in both types of isolates. The mec A gene was detected in all MR-CoNS isolates, indicating methicillin resistance.
