This study introduces a simple colorimetric method which can measure the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria in biofilms using trimethyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) as an indicator of viable bacteria. The new method was utilized for the evaluation of antibiotic susceptibility of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms.
本研究介绍了一种简单的比色法,该方法使用三甲基氯化四氮唑(TTC)作为活细菌的指示剂来测量生物膜中细菌的抗菌药敏性。新方法用于评估大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌和金黄色葡萄球菌生物膜的抗生素药敏性。
