O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar cepas hospitalares de Staphylococcus coagulasenegativa isoladas de cateteres intravenosos, quanto à resistência a oxacilina, produção de slime, aderência ao poliestireno, habilidade de formar biofilme sobre superfícies abióticas (cateter esterilizado) e a presença de genes icaAD. Na presente pesquisa, a presença de icaA e icaD foi determinada pelo método PCR, em uma coleção de 27 amostras Staphylococcus coagulase-negativa (10 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 4 S. haemolyticus, 2 S. hominis, 2 S. lugdunensis, 1 S. saprophyticus, 1 S. schleiferi, 2 S. xylosus e 4 S. warneri). Os genes icaAD foram detectados em dez cepas S. epidermidis... / Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, particularly, Staphylococcus epidermidis are frequent cause of infections associated with catheters and is attributed to the attachment ability on a surface and each other (intercellular adhesion) forming a multilayered biofilm on polymeric surfaces. The objective of the present study was to evaluate coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains isolated from intravenous catheters by oxacillin resistance, slime production (qualitative method) and spectrophotometric assay (quantitative method), ability to form biofilm on abiotic surfaces (steriled catheter) and the presence of icaAD genes. In the present study icaA and icaD were determined by PCR method, in a collection of 27 coagulasenegative Staphylococcus (10 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 4 S. haemolyticus, 2 S. hominis, 2 S. lugdunensis, 1 S. saprophyticus, 1 S. schleiferi, 2 S. xylosus and 4 S. warneri). The icaA genes were detected in nine S. epidermidis and icaD in ten. The slime-producing ability was determined by culture on Congo red agar plates in which slime-producing strains formed black colonies in 10 S. epidermidis, 4 S.haemolyticus, 4 S. warneri, 2 S. xylosus and 1 S. chromogenes, while nonslimeformingones develop red colonies. The quantitative assay of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus was observed in 19 strains, including: 10 S. epidermidis, 3 S.haemolyticus, 3 S. warneri, 2 S. xylosus, 1 S. chromogenes. The ability of coagulasenegative Staphylococcus to form biofilm embedded in an amorphous substance wasobserved by scanning electronic microscope on abiotic surface in 10 S. epidermidis,3 S. haemolyticus, 2 S. hominis, 2 S. lugdunensis, 1 S. saprophyticus, 1 S. schleiferi,2 S. xylosus and 3 S. warneri. The oxacillin resistance was observed in 9 strains S.epidermidis, 3 S. haemolyticus, 3 S. warneri, 1 S. xylosus and 1 S. chromogenes. All strains of staphylococci were susceptible...
