The authors aimed to investigate the biofilm-forming features of panresistant (PRKp). The biofilm formations were shown under light microscope and laser scanning confocal microscopy. The optical densities of the wells were measured and classified according to biofilm-forming capacities. The ratio of biofilm-forming was established to be 100%. All isolates were found to form high-level biofilms in classification compared with positive and negative controls. No significant difference was detected in the biofilm-forming capacities of strains isolated from different sample types. No previous study associated with PRKp isolates was identified in the literature search. There is a need for different approaches characterizing the biofilm-forming features of PRKp.
本研究旨在探究泛耐药肺炎克雷伯菌(PRKp)的生物膜形成特性。通过光学显微镜和激光共聚焦显微镜观察生物膜形成情况,并根据生物膜形成能力对孔板进行光密度测量和分类。以生物膜形成率为 100%建立比值。与阳性和阴性对照相比,所有分离株在分类上均表现出高水平的生物膜形成。不同样本类型分离的菌株生物膜形成能力无显著差异。文献检索未发现与 PRKp 分离株相关的既往研究。需要采用不同方法来表征 PRKp 的生物膜形成特征。
