| Abstract: | Background
Pseudomonas fluorescens is an important food spoilage organism, usually found in the form of biofilms. Bacterial biofilms are inherently resistant
to a variety of antimicrobial agents, therefore alternative methods to biofilm control, such as bacteriophages (phages) have
been suggested. Phage behavior on biofilms is still poorly investigated and needs further understanding. Here we describe
the application of phage ϕIBB-PF7, a newly isolated phage, to control P. fluorescens biofilms. The biofilms were formed under static or dynamic conditions and with or without renewal of medium. |
