Abstract
The aim of this work was to monitor the potential antibiofilm properties of biosurfactants (BS) isolated from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 3/22 against biofilm formation of the indicator strain Staphylococcus aureus CCM 4223. In this work, the effect of BS 3/22 on biofilm growth during co-incubation, inhibition of biofilm-forming cell adhesion and biofilm dispersion was studied. BS 3/22 inhibited biofilm formation, with its formation decreasing significantly (p < 0.05; p < 0.01; p < 0.001) with increasing BS 3/22 concentration. BS 3/22 also showed antiadhesive activity, which correlated with the concentration used. The dispersing effect of isolated BS 3/22 on a 24-hour biofilm was also detected. BS 3/22 were effective in biofilm dispersion even at lower concentrations compared to antiadhesive activity and inhibition of biofilm formation.
