Cell Density and Growth Phase as Factors in the Resistance of a Biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) to Iodine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies have shown that biofilms exhibit enhanced resistance to iodine. Investigations were conducted to determine the relative importance of growth phase versus cell density on biofilm resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) to iodine. Cell density is a contributing factor to resistance, whereas growth to the stationary phase is not sufficient to achieve resistance.

Background: Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious concern in treatment of diseases and medical industries. Natural products that originate in plants can influence microbial biofilm formation. The effect of ethyl acetate, methanol and water- methanol extracts of Quercus brantii on biofilm formation and biofilm disruption of P. aeruginosa were investigated in this study. Methods...

Bacterial biofilms pose the greatest challenge to implant surgeries leading to device-related infections and implant failure. Our present study aims at monitoring the variation in the biofilm architecture of a clinically isolated strain and ATCC 27853 strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on two polymeric biomaterials, used in implants. The perspective of our study is to recognize the potential of t...
