Özet

Polysaccharide slime seems to be the most important factor by which coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) strains adheres and colonises catheters. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of slime-producing CNS strains isolated from nasal samples of patients on haemodialysis and of healthy persons as a control.
