A colorimetric microtiter plate method for assessment of phage effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm.

Abstract:

:Bacteriophages have a potential in biofilm control. The aim of the study was to develop a method for selection of the most effective Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages for inhibition of biofilm formation and its eradication. The microtiter plate method is based on crystal violet staining and measuring of optical density.
