Interactions between Biocide Cationic Agents and Bacterial Biofilms

Abstract: The resistance of bacterial biofilms to physical and chemical agents is attributed in the literature to various interconnected processes. The limitation of mass transfer alters the growth rate, and physiological changes in the bacteria in the film also appear. The present work describes an approach to determination of the mechanisms involved in the resistance of bacteria to quaternary ammonium compounds (benzalkonium chloride) according to the C-chain lengths of those compounds. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP … Show more

“…These results are in agreement with results obtained previously, which indicates that the optimal activity toward a variety of bacterial species for numerous structural variations of water soluble surfactants occurs with an alkyl chain between 10 and 14 carbon atoms. These results are in agreement with those reported elsewhere [36][37][38][39].…”

“…Bacteria which survive in the biofilms on surfaces are much more resistant to biocidal agents than planktonic cells of the same species (Carpentier & Cerf 1993;Campanac et al 2002). Due to this fact, the conventional sanitation and disinfectant agents may fail to kill bacteria under certain conditions (Hodd & Zottola 1997).…”

“…Kuponlar, %2.5 glutaraldehit çözeltisi ile +4°C'de 1 sa bekletilerek fikse edilmiş ve 10'ar dk etanol serilerinden (%30, %50, %80 ve %95) geçirilmiştir. Bekleme süresi sonunda kuponlar, havada kurumaya bırakılmıştır [10]. İnceleme öncesi kuponların yüzeyi 15 mm kalınlıkta altın ile kaplanmış ve kuponlar SEM cihazında incelenmiştir.…”
