Figure 1. Biofilm inhibition of S. marcescens by xylitol. (A) Microscopic examination of biofilm inhibition by xylitol. Biofilm was formed on glass cover slips by xylitol-treated and untreated bacteria, and light microscopy was used for visualization. Both thickness and biofilm biomass were reduced by xylitol. (B) Biofilm was allowed to form on microtiter plate wells in the presence or absence of xylitol (5% and 10%) and adherent cells were stained with crystal violet, glacial acetic acid was added to dissolve the dye, and the absorbance was measured at 590 nm. The test was performed in triplicate. Biofilm formation was significantly reduced by xylitol. The data shown are the means ± standard errors. One-way ANOVA test followed by Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison test was used for statistical analysis. ***: p ≤ 0.001.
