Anti- Biofilm Extracts from and .

infections are still an important health problem and are directly related to the development of gastric ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma, mucosal lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and diabetes. At the same time, the number of substances/drugs effective against these bacteria is limited due to increasing resistance. Raw plant materials from various species of the Rubus genus-fruits and shoots-have shown antimicrobial activity in numerous studies against different bacteria, including in a planktonic form. Research carried out on a model using fragments of intravenous infusions and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) as a dye showed that the shoot extract of 'Willamette', the fruit extract of 'Poranna Rosa', and 'Laszka', and Litacz' prevent the formation of biofilm by . Active concentrations inhibiting biofilm formation were 6.65 mg/mL for shoots and 16.65 mg/mL for fruits. However, in the resulting biofilm, the extract from the shoots of 'Willamette' and the fruit of 'Poranna Rosa' at a concentration of 16.65 mg/mL was active against living bacteria, and the remaining extracts showed such activity at a concentration of 33.3 mg/mL. In studies on the interaction of the extract with antibiotics on biofilm, the extract from the shoots of 'Willamette' showed synergy with doxycycline and levofloxacin, additivity with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and neutrality with metronidazole. biofilm research was carried out in a newly elaborated research model-culture on fragments of intravenous infusions with the addition of TTC as a marker of living bacterial cells. The research results may constitute the basis for the development of new combination therapies for the treatment of infections, including its resistant strains. The proposed new biofilm research model, which is cheap and effective, may allow testing of new substances that are potentially more effective against and other biofilm-forming bacterial strains.
