Inhibition of bacterial adhesion and anti-biofilm effects of and biosurfactants against and .

Background And Objectives: Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface-active agents that mainly produced by various microorganisms. In this study, the anti-biofilm and inhibition of bacterial adhesion activities of two bacterial biosurfactants were investigated.

Materials And Methods: After extraction and evaluation of and biosurfctants, inhibition of bacterial adhesion and anti-biofilm effects of them on and were determined.

Results: On average, the synergistic effect of two bacterial biosurfactants, caused about 60% decrease in adhesion and about 80% decrease in biofilm formation of and .

Conclusion: The results of this study showed that combination of and biosurfactants would increase the potential of attachment inhibition and biofilm eradication with very low toxicity.
