AB  - Biofilm production is a well-known causative factor of catheter- and medical 
      device-related sepsis. Its high prevalence in coagulase-negative staphylococci 
      (CoNS) has recently been reported. Information on biofilm production in CoNS 
      isolated from wild animals is lacking. Herein, we studied the biofilm formation 
      capabilities of CoNS isolated from rescued wild animals in the Republic of Korea. 
      Swab samples were collected from the conjunctiva, nasal cavity, perianal area, 
      and rectum for mammals while the sampling was done from the conjunctiva, oral 
      mucosa, pericloacal area, and cloaca for birds. Isolation of CoNS was based on 
      morphological and biochemical analyses along with molecular typing. Biofilm 
      production was analyzed using 96-well plate based quantitative adherence assays. 
      The studies demonstrated that CoNS of mammalian origin have higher 
      biofilm-producing ability (70.4%) than the isolates from birds (62.5%). In 
      particular, all methicillin-resistant (MR) CoNS isolated from mammals were 
      capable of biofilm formation while only 63.3% of MR CoNS isolated from birds 
      could produce biofilms. The MR CoNS isolated from mammals also had a 
      significantly higher ability to form biofilms (100%) than methicillin susceptible 
      CoNS (60.0%) than those isolates from birds. The findings show that wild animals 
      may act as reservoirs as well as possible transmitters of biofilm-mediated 
      antibiotic resistant genes.
