[ENG] Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a public health threat. The etiological agents responsible for these infections are diverse and, in the case of bacteria, often resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria are able to assemble biofilm persisting in healthcare units, becoming more resistant to antibiotic and being responsible for HAIs onset and spread. Bacteria isolated from samples collected in hospitals fulfilling the criteria of HAI were used. The selected bacteria comprise classical (Klebsiella pneumoniae) and emergent agents of HAI (Nontuberculous mycobacteria: NTM). The bacterial ability to assemble biofilm on cell culture plates was evaluated by the microtiter plate test. The structural features of bacteria (planktonic and ...
