Abstract: | In this article, slime production of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains from infective skin lesions was evaluated by three different methods: Congo red agar method (CRA), Christensen tube method (CT) and spectrophotometric method (SC). All strains by CT method interpreted as negative (dark-claret or red colonies of the surface). 12 (37.5%) strains of S. aureus, 16 (50.0%) strains of S. epidermidis produced slime as shown by CT method, 6 (18.7%) strains of S. aureus, 8 (25,0%) strains of S. epidermidis by SC method. They also found a correlation of slime production by CT and SC method (p > 0.05). |
