Biofilm Test Service for Bacteria Infection Research
Creative Biolabs provides a top-tier biofilm test service designed specifically to meet your bacterial drug characterization research needs. Our state-of-the-art biofilm testing service is fully equipped to support the scientific fraternity by providing reliable, accurate, and quick results.
Biofilm Testing Service Overview
-
Biofilm is a microorganism aggregate in which cells attach to each other and, in some cases, to a surface. The testing of these concentrated clusters is crucial, as biofilms are a major attribute when dealing with bacterial resistance to antibacterial drugs.
-
We offer an array of robust and highly sensitive assays specifically tailored to evaluate biofilms' formation and quantification in different bacterial species. Our biofilm test service helps researchers understand antimicrobial resistance, a critical aspect of bacterial drug characterization.
-
Features of our biofilm test service include quantitative biofilm measurement, minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) determination, and the evaluation of the efficacy of antibacterial agents against biofilm-forming bacteria.
Process of Biofilm Testing
-
Bacterial isolation. The bacteria are isolated from the collected samples. The isolation is performed in a petri dish with a sterile medium.
-
Inoculation. Once the bacteria are cultured, they are inoculated into a sterile liquid medium for further growth.
-
Biofilm formation. This step involves the growing bacteria forming a biofilm on the surface of an abiotic material. This process is facilitated by certain specific growth conditions.
-
Exposure to treatment. Once a biofilm has formed, it is exposed to chemical or physical treatment to investigate resistance properties.
-
Visualization. After treatment, the biofilm is observed under a microscope to examine structural changes.
-
Biofilm quantification. Quantification of the biofilm is done using different methods such as crystal violet assay, microtiter-plate test, etc.
-
Analysis and interpretation. Evaluate and conclude the data collected based on bacterial resistance to different antibiotics.
Application of Biofilm Test Service
-
Facilitates groundbreaking research in the development of new antibacterials.
-
Efficiently studies bacterial resistance towards existing drugs.
-
Monitors bacterial behavior in response to novel drugs.
-
Aids in the formulation of infection control strategies.
