Abstract

S. epidermidis isolates were obtained from swabs of contact surfaces on the equipment of food processing plants, raw materials and foodstuffs produced from meat and milk. Capability of this microorganism to form a biofilm was investigated by phenotype and multiplex PCR method. Resistance to antimicrobial agents was investigated using the microdilution method.The production of biofilm was detected in 6% isolates and the most common resistance was to penicillin.

Abstract (in Czech)

Izoláty S. epidermidis byly získané ze stěrů kontaktních povrchů zařízení potravinářských závodů, surovin a masných a mléčných potravin. Schopnost tohoto mikroorganismu vytvářet biofilm byla zjišťována fenotypovou a multiplex PCR metodou. Rezistence k antimikrobiálním látkám byla detekována pomocí mikrodiluční metody. Produkce biofilmu byla zjištěna u 6 % izolátů, nejčastější rezistence byla zjištěna k penicilinu.
