Adherence of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci to Human Uroepithelial Cells

The ability of Adhesion of Coagulase Negative staphylococci (CNS) to human uroepithlial was studied. There was statistically significant difference between the species of (CNS) in their adhesions ability. The highest rate of adhesion was for S. saprophyticus followed by S. xylosus and the lowest was for S. epidermidis, It was also found that the nutritional media had a significant effect on the adhesion rate when using broth in comparison with nutrient agar.
