The activity of table vinegar in reducing and eradicating the biofilm producing Escherichia coli.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Urinary tract infection caused by E. coli is responsible for recurrences and relapses of infection due to its ability to form biofilm. Many studies had trailed using sivler nanaoparticles the natural products like green tea extracts, essential oils, clove extracts, eugenol as an antibiofilm agent. This study has been carried out to assess the action of table vinegars (Date, Apple cider, Grape cider) to prevent the biofilm formation using microtitre plate assay. Out of 212 UPEC isolates, 128 isolates produced biofilm of which date vinegar has eradicated 100% of biofilm in all the isolates, 95.3% and 94.5% of the biofilm were eradicated with reduced optical density values indicating the less biofilm production in other remaining biofilm producers by apple cider and grape vinegar respectively. Better results of biofilm prevention in using date vinegar compared to other type of vinegars depend on the varying concentrations of aminoacid, acetic acid and other chemical components. More studies are required to prove the action of these vinegars against the biofilm production scientifically and also for its health benefits.
