Unlabelled: Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the most important public health problems of our century. In addition to the spread of resistance, biofilm production also makes the treatment of infections increasingly difficult. Therefore, this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of the predator bacterium HD100 on various clinical pathogens and their biofilms.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, is one of the major causes of nosocomial infections. In addition to its physiological adaptation capacity, it can develop resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics through various mechanisms. Recently, new eradication methods are gaining attention.

Objectives: spp. are clinically important pathogens that cause difficulties for treatment by biofilm formation. Considering antifungal resistance rates and the limitations in the discovery of new antifungals, the antifungal and antibiofilm effects of various drugs used for different therapeutic purposes are becoming more important.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most virulent bacteria and quorum sensing (QS) genes have an importance on virulence factors such as biofilm that provide resistance against disinfectants and antibiotics.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of the disinfectants, to investigate the effects of disinfectants and ciprofloxacin on biofilm production mature biofilm of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates, and it was aimed to investigate the effects of the agents on the expression levels of several QS-related genes in the isolates.
