Glycocalyx positive bacteria isolated from chronic osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.
Bacterial cultures isolated from cases of chronic osteomyelitis and septic arthritis were screened for the production of glycocalyx. The presence of glycocalyx was noted in 76.3% of Staphylococcus aureus, 57.14% of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 50% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 75% of Escherichia coli isolates.
