lüll Effectiveness of antibiotics on the autochthonous Escherichia coli of mice in the intestinal biofilm versus its planktonic phase Ketyi IActa Microbiol Immunol Hung 1994[]; 41 (2): 189-95The effectiveness of antibiotics was tested on the autochthonous Escherichia coli in biofilm mode of growth in large bowel pieces as well as on the predominant faecal E. coli isolated from the same SPF mice in planktonic phase of growth. Aminoglycoside antibiotics, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, erythromycin and lincomycin-clindamycin treatment had a very limited effect in the intestinal biofilm. Surprising ineffectiveness was found with polymyxins: polymyxin B showed a Minimal Bactericidal Dose of 0.78 microgram in planktonic phase, while it was 400 micrograms for E. coli incorporated in the biofilm matrix. In contrast to the above groups of antibiotics, the beta-lactam drugs were effective both in the biofilm and in the planktonic phase growth of E. coli and their derivatives with broad or broader spectrum exerted an increased biofilm activity. Polymyxin B showed no sign of penetration into the colonic mucus, but on the other side ampicillin concentrated about three-four times in the intestinal matrix.|*Biofilms[MESH]|Aminoglycosides[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Anti-Bacterial Agents/pharmacokinetics/*pharmacology[MESH]|Bacterial Adhesion[MESH]|Colon/metabolism/*microbiology[MESH]|Escherichia coli/*drug effects/growth & development[MESH]|In Vitro Techniques[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Microbial Sensitivity Tests[MESH]|Mucus/metabolism/microbiology[MESH]|Specific Pathogen-Free Organisms[MESH] |
