Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates in Egypt: phenotypic, genotypic, and antibiofilm assessment of Pluronic F-127

The ability of bacteria to form biofilms contributes greatly to the development of antibiotic resistance, which leads to the occurrence of persistent and chronic bacterial illnesses. Many isolates exhibited moderate to strong biofilm forming ability, which showed a high resistance pattern. The results demonstrated that Pluronic F-127 has a promising level of biofilm inhibition and detachment in most isolates. It has a chance to serve as a substitute means for combating biofilm formation.
