Determination of the Anti-Adhesive and Anti-Biofilm Capacity of a Wheat Extract on <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in Farms

The formation of biofilm by pathogenic microorganisms has become a problem in the livestock industry since it is considered potential source infection for farm animals while increasing microbial resistance to physical and chemical agents. Some plant extracts, such as soluble wheat extract, have been shown be effective inhibiting or destroying certain micro-organisms under specific conditions. objective this study evaluate capacity pathogen form on different surfaces used livestock, well anti-biofilm extract against S. aureus these surfaces. inhibition destruction was tested vitro. Wheat at concentration 0.29 mg/100mL showed activity aureus, its formation, greatly after contact time 24 hours, those where microorganism presents more adhesion capacity.
