Biofilm formation on tympanostomy tubes depends on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus genetic lineage

Abstract: Bacterial biofilm formation has been implicated in the high incidence of persistent otorrhoea after tympanostomy tube insertion. The aim of the study was to investigate whether biofilm formation on tympanostomy tubes depends on the genetic profile of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Capacity of biofilm formation on fluoroplastic tympanostomy tubes (TTs) was tested on 30 MRSA strains. Identification and methicillin resistance were confirmed by PCR for nuc and mecA genes. Strains were … Show more

“…The majority of MRSA isolates in our study represented CC5, typically referred to as hospital-associated strains, and CC8, historically of community origin. In the multivariate analyses, there was no association between the clonal complex of the isolate and biofilm formation, which has been found in other studies (12)(13)(14). This may be due to the limited number of isolates or the clinical source of the isolates used, which may play a role in their biofilm formation.…”

“…The emergence of MRSA and quinolone-resistant P aeruginosa has created a serious therapeutic problem for post-tympanostomy tube otorrhoea 11 , 12 . Surgical removal of the infected tubes is an effective treatment for biofilm on tympanostomy tubes, but it is associated with antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA and quinolone-resistant P aeruginosa 13 .…”

“…Several studies have evaluated the BF ability of common foodborne pathogens. Jotic et al (2016) assessed the BF of 30 isolated Staphylococcus and found that the BF ability between different strains was different. Lianou and Koutsoumanis (2012) found that the BF ability of Salmonella had no correlation with the serotype and strain type of the bacteria, which might be related to the different experimental strains in different studies.…”
