Effects of genetic and environmental variables on biofilm development dynamics in Achromobacter mucicolens.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The study aimed to investigate whether Achromobacter mucicolens IA strain biofilm formation, which contributes to antibiotic resistance, could be enhanced by readily available nutrient sources like carbohydrates and environmental factors such as pH and NaCl. Additionally, the study aimed to identify any inherent genes that support biofilm formation in this strain, which is an opportunistic pathogen that affects immunocompromised patients and is resistant to many antibiotics.

Materials and methods

Biofilm growth in different carbohydrate, pH, and NaCl concentrated media was measured using crystal violet microtiter assay. All the treatments were subjected to biostatistics analysis for normality, Test of Homogeneity, one way ANOVA analysis. Whol
