Effect of growth medium on hydrophobicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of growth medium on expression of hydrophobicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis. A total of 24 hydrophobic isolates of S. epidermidis, determined by n-hexadecane adherence assay (HAA) earlier were included. Five different growth media: horse blood agar (HBA), brain heart infusion agar (BHIA), brain heart infusion broth (BHIB), tryptic soy broth (TSB) and proteose peptone broth (PPB) were used. All 24 isolates exhibited the reproducible hydrophobicity when grown on HBA; however, 20 (83.33%), 19 (79.16%), 15 (62.50%) and 13 (54.16%) isolates...
