VOL.40 NO.7 Characteristics of biofilm formed by Pseudornonas aeruginosa in vilro Kazuo Fujimaki, Yasushi Ikeda, Masahiro Takahata and Takashi Yasuda Research Laboratories, Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd., 2 4-1 Shimookui, Toyama, Japan Biofilm formation by Pseudornonas aeruginosa was investigated by using medical teflon sheet as an artificial foreign device in vitro. Biofilm formed by the glycocalyx and cells was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Ceftazidime (CAZ) at 1 MIC did not show any bactericidal activity against sessile or floating cells. Tosufloxacin (TFLX) and ciprofloxacin (CPFX) had excellent bactericidal effects at 1 MIC against floating cells and a >90% decrease was observed in the number of viable sessile cells. Enhanced activities were observed against sessile cells not only with a combination of TFLX and CPFX at 1 MIC and erythromycin (EM) at 1/4 MIC to when the hourly changes of viable cells were observed but also for TFLX at 1 MIC and EM or clarithromycin at 1ƒÊg/ ml when the changes were observed over days. However, synergism was not observed when CAZ and EM were combined. The activity of TFLX was not enhanced when it was combined with lysozyme, hyaluronidase, protease or streptokinase.
