INHIBITION OF DIFFERENT STAGES OF BIOFILM OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA PA01 BY ISOLATED BACTERIOPHAGE P2

摘要

Biofilm mediated protection of pathogens from environmental stresses are recognized as one of the major threat worldwide, which encourage the researcher to search for other alternative approach. Bacteriophage therapy is one such effective and controlled strategy that undertakes the utilization of tailored phage mediated biofilm inhibition. Hence, in this study, P2 phage, specific to Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 was isolated and its potential to inhibit biofilm formation was studied. Important findings are summarized in the manuscript.
