Abstract

Bacterial biofilm is a complex microbial
community which is highly resistant to antimicrobials.
Biofilms cause health problems in food industries,
hospitals and water environment. Many bacteria use the
biofilm formation as a strategy to survive when exposed
to antimicrobial compounds and to evade host immune
responses. The biofilm formation in biotic and abiotic
surface is associated with high rates of mortality in
hospitalized patients. New alternative method to control
the infection has been raised, now focusing on the
therapeutic properties of medicinal plants and their
phytochemical compounds with antimicrobial activity.
In this study, Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. leaf extract
with three solvents (acetone, ethanol and water) was
assessed for its biofilm inhibition activity against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
The biofilm inhibition was observed in P. juliflora leaf
extract. The maximum biofilm inhibition of P.
aeruginosa was observed in the P. juliflora acetone leaf
extract and for S. aureus, the maximum inhibition was
observed in P. juliflora water leaf extract. This study
suggests that plant extract of P. juliflora could be
effectively used to inhibit the formation of P. aeruginosa
and S. aureus biofilms
