Efficacy of ficin and peroxyacetic acid against Salmonella enterica serovar Thompson biofilm on plastic, eggshell, and chicken skin

Inhibitory effect of ficin on Candida albicans biofilm formation and pre-formed biofilms

“…Our results showed that ficin not only inhibits C. albicans biofilm formation, but also detaches pre-formed biofilms, which for the first time indicates its anti-fungal biofilm effect. Previous studies have confirmed that ficin controls bacterial biofilms, including those of S. aureus , S. epidermidis , S. mutans and Salmonella Enterica [ 15 – 18 ] . Combined with the findings of this study, we conclude that ficin controls not only bacterial biofilms but also fungal biofilms.…”

“…Our previous study displayed that ficin not only significantly inhibits biofilm formation of opportunistic cariogenic Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ), but also suppresses its cariogenic virulence including acid production and EPS synthesis [ 17 ]. Most recently, ficin was reported to have effectivity against Salmonella Enterica serovar Thompson biofilms [ 18 ]. However, the effect of ficin on fungal biofilms remains unknown.…”
