Altogether, food-borne illnesses represent a global public health problem that affects an estimated 600 million people annually (WHO, 2020). The search for new active compounds with antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities requires extensive screening studies. Biofilm formation is a persistence strategy for microorganisms and has a role for colonization of both abiotic and biotic surfaces. Control of biofilm formation might represent a better option in the fight against bacteria, especially due to increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To avoid the disastrous impact of AMR we urgently need alternative strategies for combating infectious diseases. Moreover, precise understanding of mechanisms of action and distinguishing between antimicrobial versus anti-biofilm activities will enable us to better control the spread of AMR and help reduce its occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Description of invention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have developed a method for identifying a compound or a composition of compounds that have either antimicrobial and\/or anti-biofilm activities against a bacterium of interest. Our method involves determining the growth of the microorganisms by measuring the optical density in intervals during the incubation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Main advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the existing methods can simultaneously determine antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities in a relatively short time. Our method enables simultaneous detection and differentiation of the antimicrobial and\/or antibiofilm activities of a composition or a compound analyzed in less than 20 hours in a high-throughput format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description<br \/>\nWe have developed a method for identifying a compound or a composition of compounds that have either anti-bacterial and\/or anti-biofilm activities against a bacterium of interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10880,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tehnologije-kategorija-api":[567],"class_list":["post-11112","tehnologije","type-tehnologije","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tehnologije-kategorija-en-biotehnology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
