Antiseptic Susceptibility and Sub-Inhibitory Concentration-Induced Biofilm Response <i>in Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> from Abdominal Surgical Site Skin
The high prevalence of MRSE and efflux genes contributed to antiseptic tolerance. Sub-inhibitory antiseptic concentrations may enhance biofilm formation in resistant strains, underscoring the need for optimized decolonization tactics to prevent SSI.
