Effect of Predator Bacteria Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on Clinical Pathogens and Biofilms.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the most important public health problems of our century. In addition to the spread of resistance, biofilm production also makes the treatment of infections increasingly difficult. Therefore, this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of the predator bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 on various clinical pathogens and their biofilms. A large panel of Gram-positive and negative clinical isolates were included in the study. The double-layer agar method was used to optimize the cultivation of predatory bacteria. The effectiveness of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD 100 on planktonic cells and biofilms, was determined by co-culture and crystal violet staining methods, respectively. The antibiofilm activity was also visualize
