Relationship Between Biofilm Formation and Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria

Abstract: Gram-negative microorganisms are a significant cause of infection in both community and nosocomial settings. The increase, emergence, and spread of antimicrobial resistance among bacteria are the most important health problems worldwide. One of the mechanisms of resistance used by bacteria is biofilm formation, which is also a mechanism of virulence. This study analyzed the possible relationship between antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation among isolates of three Gram-negative bacteria species. Sever… Show more

“…Forty-seven (94%) of our 50 K. pneumoniae isolates were MDR. In contrast, lower percentages (54%, 38%, 81.5%, and 90%) of MDR were reported in other studies [17][18][19] . The high percentage of MDR in our isolates may be due to overuse of antibiotics in Egypt and the incidence of class 1 integrons in 98% of our isolates.…”

“…Similarly, MDR Acinetobacter baumannii [49], E. coli [50], and isolates from urinary tract infections [51] that produced biofilms had significantly higher resistance to antibiotics. On the contrary, a previous study [52] could not find any relation to the MDR and biofilm producers. Interestingly, Klebsiella pneumoniae susceptible to ciprofloxacin had a strong biofilm formation [53].…”

“…In spite of prophylactic measures and appropriate antibiotic administration to the individuals, increases in antibiotic exposure pose serious risks to antibiotic resistance. Most of the bacteria of Gram-negative type are resistant to ampicillin, cloxacillin, and gentamicin [ 2 ]. Gastrointestinal infections are very common among infants [ 3 ].…”
