Abstract

Background: Enterococci are important causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly among hospitalized patients. Their ability to form biofilms contributes to persistence in the urinary tract and may make infections more difficult to treat. Reliable detection of biofilm production is therefore important in clinical microbiology. Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence of biofilm formation among urinary Enterococcus isolates and to compare the performance of the Tissue Culture Plate (TCP), Congo Red Agar (CRA), and Tube
