Microtitre plates

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common commensal of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. However, it is a common cause of nosocomial infection especially infection associated with the insertion of biomedical devices. Glycans have been shown to mediate vast majority of biological processes and its alterations have been reported to be used as biomarkers and applied in diagnosis of malignancies and infections. The absolute mean Optical Density (OD450nm) of the biofilm was calculated as 0.248± 0.044SD and the biofilm was observed to strongly adhere to the microtitre plate surface.

The aim of this study was to detect biofilm formation by study isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa qualitatively and quantitatively. Ten isolates were taken from diseased animal in veterinary clinics of RAJUVAS Bikaner. Qualitative biofilm formation assays (Pellicle formation assay and Congo red agar method) and quantitative assay by Microtitre plate assay used for biofilm production.

A total of 60 Salmonella isolates (43 poultry origin, 17 farm animal origin) received from various parts of the country were used in the current study. The objective is to study the biofilm forming potential of the isolates using microtitre plate assay. Study revealed that 38% of the isolates were moderate biofilm producers and 37% were strong biofilm formers. As biofilm contribute to virulence and antimicrobial resistance of the organism, the study remains significant in food safety aspect.
