Inhibitory effects of ultrasound irradiation on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm

Purpose We aimed to investigate whether low-intensity continuous and pulsed wave ultrasound (US) irradiation can inhibit the formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms, for potential application in the treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). Methods S. epidermidis biofilm...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose We aimed to investigate whether low-intensity continuous and pulsed wave ultrasound (US) irradiation can inhibit the formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms, for potential application in the treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). Methods S. epidermidis biofilms that formed on the bottom surfaces of 6-well plates were irradiated on the bottom surface using the sound cell incubator system for different intervals of time. Results US irradiation with continuous waves for 24 h notably inhibited biofilm formation ( p
