Description
Summary:Microbial cells growing in biofilms, play a huge role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, biofilm formation of strains belonging to 3 different species ( , and ), cooccurences' effect on biofilm formation amount and anti-biofilm effects of and essential oils on biofilm formations of highest biofilm forming , and strains were determined. Anti-biofilm effects of and essential oils on biofilm formations of highest biofilm forming , and strains were investigated. 57% of strains and 50% of strains were found as Strong Biofilm Forming (SBF), there wasn't any SBF strain in species. In addition to this, clinical materials of urine and sperm were found as the most frequent clinical materials for strong biofilm forming and isolations respectively (63%; 100%) Secondly, all strains isolated from surgical intensive care unit and all strains isolated from service units of urology were found as SBF. Apart from these, although the amount of biofilm, formed by co-occurence of - and - were more than the amount ofbiofilm formed by themselves separately, biofilm formation amount of co-occurrence of - strains was lower than biofilm formation amount of but higher than biofilm formation amount of . The antibiofilm effects of and essential oils could be used against biofilm aquired infections.
