INHIBITION OF DIFFERENT STAGES OF BIOFILM OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA PA01 BY ISOLATED BACTERIOPHAGE P2
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharamceutical and Clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
 Biofilm mediated protection of pathogens from environmental stresses are recognized as one of the major threat worldwide, which encourage theresearcher to search for other alternative approach. Bacteriophage therapy is one such effective and controlled strategy that undertakes the utilizationof tailored phage mediated biofilm inhibition. Hence, in this study, P2 phage, specific to Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 was isolated and its potentialto inhibit biofilm formation was studied. Important findings are summarized in the manuscript.Keywords: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biofilm, Bacteriophage and Transmission electron microscopy, Antibiotic resistance.
