Abstract
The purpose of tihis study was to investigate by in vitro methods the capacity of
adhesion and invasion to cellular and inert substrata, as well as the invasive
properties of some Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains
isolated from various clinical specimens in patients with cardiovascular
infections. Strains isolation and identification was performed using API galleries
and the automatic Vitek II system. The selected strains have been phenotypically
evaluated for the adherence to the cellular substrate represented by HeLa cells,
adherence to the inert substrate quantified by slime test and a serios of soluble
virulence factors (lechitinase, lipase, amylase, caseinase, gelatinase, DN-ase,
haemolysins). The isolated strains exhibited an evident tendency of colonizing
the cellular and inert substrate, also harboring enzymes with role in the invasion
of host tissues and thus susceptible to produce systemic infections.
