Alcohol effects on biofilm production of staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa / Anis Nabilah Abu Hanipah

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) are known as the opportunistic pathogens which correspond to biofilm formation. Bacteria that develop as surface associated biofilms are difficult to treat with antimicrobials agents which then lead to lethal infection. Due...
