| Abstract | ||
| Capsulated, slimed strain and unencapsulated unslimed strain of S. aureus isolated from hospital were studied for their adherence to four nonbiological surfaces at different values of temperature and pH. At 40°C both strains were unable to adhere to glass surfaces, moreover capsulated and slimed strain not adhere to polytetrafluorethylene surface, while uncapsulated unslimed strain did not adhere to polyurethane surface. At 40°C temperature capsulated slimed strain did not adhere to glass surface, whereas uncapsulated unslimed did not adhere to any of the four surfaces, 25°C was optimum temperature for two strains to adhere all four surfaces but in different levels. Different values of pH (5, 6, 7) acted differently on bacterial adherence to surfaces and some of these values prevented completely adherence to surfaces. | ||
