We aimed to investigate the simultaneous effects of meloxicam and rifampin nanoformulations with solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) substrates on inhibiting the quorum-sensing system of and preventing biofilm formation by this bacterium. Antimicrobial activity of rifampin and meloxicam encapsulated with SLNs and NLCs against PAO1 was assessed by disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The SLN formulation was associated with lower doses for the MIC and minimum bactericidal concentration in comparison to NLC.

In this regard, Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of several antibiotics and the associated antibiotic resistance genes, including tetO, tetA, cmeB, and bla were evaluated.
