Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Associated with Biofilm Production in University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria.

The study was carried out to isolate and identify some bacteria associated with biofilm production in University of Agriculture, Makurdi. Used toothbrushes, floor and sink swabs were collected and checked for biofilm formation. The isolates were identified using conventional methods. Three (3) bacteria were isolated and analysed namely; Staphylococcus aeurus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It was observed that the sink swab sample had the highest level of biofilm formation (43.48%) followed by the flour swab (30.43%) and lowest in tooth brushes (26.09%). However toothbrush sample from the female student had the highest level of biofilm.
