Inhibitory effects of <i>Trichoderma asperellum</i> culture filtrates on pathogenic bacteria, <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil- and water-dwelling bacterium that causes the life-threatening infection melioidosis. Patients typically acquire this infection through environmental exposure, so reducing B. pseudomallei levels in the environment could mitigate the risk of infection. Trichoderma asperellum is a biological control agent that synthesizes a diverse range of antimicrobial substances targeting other microorganisms. This study therefore examined the antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities of T. asperellum culture filtrate against B. pseudomallei.

Methods

The antibacterial activities of T. asperellum culture filtrates, collected at various time intervals, were assessed against B. pseudomallei using th
