Combined utilization of metabolic inhibitors to prevent synergistic multi-species biofilm formation

Key Points 37 bacterial strains were isolated and identified from a cooling tower biofilm. Synergistic effect of biofilm formation was observed among four species. Three metabolic inhibitors showed effective inhibition against biofilm formation. Targeting cellular metabolism is an effective way to i...
