Biofilms are biological aggregates consisting of microorganisms and extracellular polysaccharides that can exist in many environments. Bacterial contamination of medical devices, and infectious diseases such as caries and periodontal disease, are attributed to biofilms. The microorganisms in biofilms are highly resistant to antibiotics; therefore, research into medicines and food ingredients that have anti-biofilm activities is a growing area.
Dojindo’s biofilm assay kits for the quantitative measurement of biofilm formation/inhibition of biofilm formation (Biofilm Formation Assay Kit) and anti-biofilm drug efficacy (Biofilm Viability Assay Kit) have adopted a protocol where the peg plate lid is used for biofilm formation. This process is quicker and reduces variation in measurements compared to existing methods, the company says.
