Genes encoding MSCRAMM and protein Bap were detected in Staphylococcus spp.
The most frequent genes encoding MSCRAMM were eno, fnbA and fib.
The bap gene had a higher frequency of occurrence in CNS compared with CPS.
SCCs related to Staphylococcus showing eno, fnbA, fib and bap were higher compared with isolates without the assessed genes.
Eno/fnbA/fib/bap was related to a higher SCC when compared with other combinations of genes.
