Abstract:
Comparison of activity of antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus strains in their plankton form and in biofilms of varying maturity showed that the concentrations of antibiotics causing death of 90% S. aureus strains (MIC90) in their plankton form was 0.07-2.80 μg/ml and significantly (p<0.05) differed from MIC90 concentrations (3-245 μg/ml) for the strains in 24 and 48 h biofilms. MIC90 value was affected by the degree of biofilm maturity: microbial resistance in 48-h biofilms for all analyzed antibiotics was significantly (p<0.05) higher than in 24-h biofilms.
