Background: Biofilm formation is a major factor in the resistance mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sodium hypochlorite on the biofilm of K. pneumoniae with different drug resistance.
Methods: We collected 3 different types of K. pneumoniae respectively. The growth trend of biofilms of different drug-resistant K. pneumoniae was quantified by measuring the OD for 7 consecutive days using crystal violet staining. Scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to observe biofilm morphology.
Results: After adding sodium hypochlorite, there were significant differences between the OD value of the 200, 500, and 1,000 µg/mL groups and the positive control group (all P < .05) on the fifth day. Concentrations of 2,000 and 5,000 µg/mL sodium hypochlorite were added after the biofilm had matured. In the 5,000 µg/mL sodium hypochlorite group, the OD of K. pneumoniae biofilm in the 3 groups decreased significantly compared with the blank control group (all P < .05).
Conclusions: Sodium hypochlorite inhibited and cleared the biofilm of K. pneumoniae with different drug resistance, and the effect was enhanced with the increase of concentration in the range of bacteriostatic and bactericidal concentration.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for various infections in humans and animals. It is known for its resistance to multiple antibiotics, particularly through the production of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs), and its ability to form biofilms that further complicate treatment. This study aimed to isolate and identify K.

The formation of a stable alkyl At-C bond occurs during the shipment of At on a 3-octanone-impregnated column and the reactivity of At stripped from columns has been studied. The At could not be recovered from the 3-octanone organic phase using nitric acid or sodium hydroxide, even up to 10 and 15.7 M, respectively.

Background: Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to control pests and enhance crop yields. However, post-harvest, there are growing concerns about the potential health risks posed by pesticide residues on produce surfaces. Analyzing these residues is challenging due to their typically low concentrations and the potential interference from the complex matrix of the produce's surface.
