The study aims to optimize conditions for biofilm formation in Enterobacter cloacae and understand environmental influences on this process.
Optimized growth conditions using a standardized 0.5% crystal violet staining method to quantify biofilm production.
Used a 96-well microtiter plate assay on 40 E. cloacae strains collected from July 2021 to April 2023.
Examined the effects of glucose and sodium chloride concentrations on biofilm development.
Brain heart infusion broth was identified as the optimal culture medium for biofilm formation.
Heat fixation of samples enhanced biofilm quantification.
1%-2% sodium chloride concentration significantly increased biofilm production, while glucose had no effect.
