USE OF A TAIL FIBER PROTEIN FOR PREVENTING EQUIPMENT FROM ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII CONTAMINATION

摘要

A use of a tail fiber protein for preventing equipment from Acinetobacter baumannii contamination is disclosed. The tail fiber protein obtained from bacteriophages is coated or sprayed on the equipment acting as carrier (such as pipelines and medical devices in hospitals) to inhibit biofilm formation of Acinetobacter baumannii and further prevent Acinetobacter baumannii infections associated with the use of the equipment.
