3、omonas aeruginosa biofilm in a highthroughput screening assay known as the MBEC (trademarked)2 (Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration) Physiology andGenetics Assay. The assay device consists of a plastic lid with ninety-six (96) pegs and a corresponding receiver plate withninety-six (96) individ
4、ual wells that have a maximum 200-L 200 L working volume. Biofilm is established on the pegs underbatch conditions (that is, no flow of nutrients into or out of an individual well) with gentle mixing.

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes the use of the MBEC Assay in evaluating the efficacy of a disinfectant against a Pseudomo
25、nasaeruginosa biofilm.Amature biofilm is established on pegs under batch conditions with very low shear produced by gentle rotationof the device on an orbital shaker. At the end of 24 h of growth, the pegs containing the biofilm are rinsed to remove planktoniccells and the peg lid is placed in a rec
26、eiver plate. The wells in the receiver plate are filled according to an experimental design thatcontains the appropriate sterility, growth, and neutralizer controls as well as the disinfectants. After a specified contact time, thepeg lid is placed in a receiver plate containing neutralizer, and the
27、entire device is placed in a sonicator to remove the biofilm anddisaggregate the clumps. Samples from each well are then diluted, plated and the viable cells enumerated. The log10 reduction inviable cells is calculated by subtracting the mean log10 density for the treated biofilm from the mean log10
28、 density determined forthe untreated controls.5. Significance and Use5.1 Vegetative biofilm bacteria are phenotypically different from suspended planktonic cells of the same genotype. Biofilmgrowth reactors are engineered to produce biofilms with specific characteristics.Altering either the engineer
29、ed system or operatingconditions will modify those characteristics. The goal in biofilm research and efficacy testing is to choose the growth reactor thatgenerates the most relevant biofilm for the particular study.5.2 The purpose of this test method is to direct a user in how to grow, treat, sample
30、 and analyze a Pseudomonas aeruginosabiofilm using the MBEC Assay. Microscopically, the biofilm is sheet-like with few architectural details as seen in Harrison et al(6). The MBECAssay was originally designed as a rapid and reproducible assay for evaluating biofilm susceptibility to antibiotics(2).
31、The engineering design allows for the simultaneous evaluation of multiple test conditions, making it an efficient method forscreening multiple disinfectants or multiple concentrations of the same disinfectant.Additional efficiency is added by including theE2799 172neutralizer controls within the ass
32、ay device. The small well volume is advantageous for testing expensive disinfectants, or whenonly small volumes of the disinfectant are available.6.
