Abstract EN
To perceive the relationship between the emergences of antibiotics persistence, biofilm formation, and to study the role of silver nitrate in fighting these microbes, a total 50 clinical Klebsiella pneumonae isolates were collected from clinical sources and identified using genotypic identification by using specific primer (rpoB gene) from housekeeping genes.
Detection of their biofilm-forming abilities were carried out.
The eradication effect of silver nitrate to control bacterial persistence and reducing the biofilm-forming abilities were studied.
We found that 40 isolate (80%) were biofilm-formers.
From bacterial persisters, (75%) were biofilm-formers.
Silver nitrate showed a great role to eradicate persister cells and inhibition of bacterial biofilm formation of clinical isolates of K.
pneumoniae.
