<strong>Antimicrobial Activity of Penicillin G and N-acetylcystein on Planktonic and Sessile Cells of <em>Streptococcus suis</em></strong>
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2016, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of [i]Streptococcus suis [/i]strains to form biofilms and to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Penicillin G and N-acetylcystein (NAC) on both [i]S. suis[/i] sessile and planktonic forms. Only non-typeable isolates of [i]S. suis[/i] were correlated with a greater biofilm formation capacity. The MCI of Penicillin G and NAC required for inhibiting biofilm growth were higher than the required concentration for inhibiting planktonic growth. The combinations of NAC and Penicillin G showed a strong synergistic activity that inhibited biofilm formation and disrupted the pre-formed biofilm of [i]S. suis[/i].
