Biofilm
Background
Bacterial biofilms are serious global health concern due to their abilities to tolerate antibiotics, host defence systems and other external stresses; therefore it contributes to persistent chronic infections.

The Problem
Biofilm matrix gives the additional resistance power to bacteria which makes them to not only tolerate harsh conditions but also resistant to antibiotics which lead to the emergence of bad bugs infections like multi drug resistant, extensively drug resistant and totally drug resistant bacteria.
Approximately 80% of chronic and recurrent microbial infections in the human body are due to bacterial biofilm.
The Battle of Probiotics and Their Derivatives Against Biofilms
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. epidermidis and Gardnerella vaginalis are the most common biofilm formers in the clinic.
Our Solutions
Lactobacillus (lactic Acid Bacteria, LAB) and Bifidobacterium are the most important microbial genera that are generally used in the preparations of probiotics. These strains support a balanced immune function, healthy gut microbiome and improved nutrient absorption and lead to a healthy host.
They are also capable to potentially modulate the microbial ecology of biofilms by pathogens' growth inhibition, adhesion and co-aggregation.
Probiotics prevent pathogenic biofilm formation.
