Evaluating MAWG's Inhibition of Biofilm Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the effectiveness of MAWG in preventing planktonic cultures from growing early adherent monolayers on driveline materials, MAWG was applied on the surface of driveline cutouts and a microbial adherence assay was carried out (Qu et al., 2020 (link)). A drip-flow biofilm reactor was then used to evaluate the effectiveness of MAWG in preventing adherent monolayer on drivelines from further developing into mature biofilms (Goeres et al., 2009 (link); Qu et al., 2020 (link)). This drip-flow biofilm reactor mimics a “wet” driveline exit-site environment by providing continuous flow of oxygen and nutrients and grows biofilms under low shear at the air-liquid interface (Goeres et al., 2009 (link)). Driveline cut-outs with attached microorganisms, prepared in the microbial adherence assay, were placed on the absorbent pads (25 mm, Millipore, Billerica, MA) with MAWG infused in the biofilm incubation chamber. Around 10% TSB as growth media were pumped through the system at 5 ml/h/channel. Biofilms were allowed to grow for 72 h at room temperature. The samples were washed three times with PBS, and were quantitatively analyzed for CFUs. The experiment was carried out in three biological repeats in duplicate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
