Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate if S.aureus work the formation of biofilms 
and also to evaluate the impacts of environmental factors on the formation of biofilms. It 
was shown that the pathogen can form biofilms, which have a negative impact on the 
health of the organism, leading to resistance to environmental stress factors. This study 
was designed by use Microtitre-plate(MP)  technique for examination of biofilm formation 
of S.aureus and their relationship with some environmental stress factors, which were 
included temperature, glucose and sodium nitrate. The effects of  biofilm formation were 
tested with Luria-Bertani broth (LB) supplement varying concentrations of glucose (0.1; 
0.5;1.0;2.0;3.0)%, sodium nitrite (0.05;0.1;0.15;0.2)%, as well were incubated the medium 
at different temperatures (25;37;45)°C, individually. It was observed that the addition of 
glucose (3.0%)  was affected by the ability isolates to adhere to the MP-surface. Glucose 
was showing a positive effect on the formation of isolates of the biofilm while sodium 
nitrite was negatively affected. Where the isolates were produced the least amount of 
biofilm at the concentration (0.2%) sodium nitrite. Interestingly, isolates were given the 
high rate of formation of the biofilm at high temperature 45°C, which has resulted in their 
classification among the moderate values in the composition of the biofilm.
