Bacteria in biofilms are inherently more resistant to antimicrobial treatments when compared directly to planktonic cells of the same strain. The mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in planktonic bacteria are usually well known, and these same mechanisms (mutations, efflux pumps, and antibiotic-modifying enzymes) do not appear to be the primary cause of biofilm-mediated antibiotic resistance. Therefore, biofilm antibiotic resistance (BAT) is thought to involve alternative mechanisms of bacterial antimicrobial resistance.BAT has been defined as the ability of bacteria in the presence of biofilms to survive antimicrobial therapy by using their available genetic complement. Now, CD BioSciences provides you with a variety of biofilm BAT eradication services to meet your scientific research needs.
CD BioSciences offer a professional biofilm BAT eradication service. the mechanisms that induce BAT appear to be more complex than the predisposing factors that cause the phenomenon, and only a few studies on the subject are less well understood. Antimicrobial treatments represent an important stress signal for biofilm-resident cells, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that antimicrobial treatments could select for biofilm-specific antimicrobial resistance genes that would contribute to BAT.
We perform biofilm elimination services by modulating the triggers of BAT, including:
EPS of biofilms has long been considered as a major contributor to BAT. However, the supporting evidence in this regard is conflicting. EPS of several biofilm-forming species have been shown to have an innate ability to prevent antibiotic penetration.
Although restriction of pentaphylaxis does not always explain BAT, reduced growth rates appear to play a more pronounced role in BAT.
The prevalence of persistent cells in biological membranes is probably the most plausible innate mechanism for BAT described so far, and although persistent cells do not directly contain antimicrobial resistance genes, they certainly provide a perfect platform for the development of drug-resistant mutants. Therefore, we focused our efforts on studying the mechanisms of persistent cell formation.
