Abstract:ABSTRACT. This study compares the effect of commercial industrial paints on the Escherichia coli PMFKG-F2, Proteus mirabilis PMFKG-F4 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae PMFKG-F6 planktonic cells and biofilms. A MBEC TM -HTP assay and standard 96 microtiter plate assay were used to test the levels of resistance of planktonic cells and biofilms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) of the tested substances, which affects planktonic cells and biofilms, were determined and th… Show more
