Antibacterial, antibiofilm and cytotoxic properties of prodigiosin produced by a newly isolated Serratia sp. C6LB from a milk collection center.

The aim of this work was to produce a red tripyrrole pigment prodigiosin from Serratia sp. C6LB strain, to investigate the promising antimicrobial properties on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. The research was also proposed to evaluate the antibiofilm activity on Staphylococcus epidermidis S61 biofilm and its cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines.
