ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To determine the activity of moxifloxacin on bacterial biofilms formed by Haemophilus influenzae in vitro.METHODS Formation of bacterial biofilm was examined by crystal violet assay,viable cells counting in biofilms was also carried out.Alterations of biofilms were measured under varying concentrations of moxifloxacin.RESULTS Optical density values of biofilms were significantly decreased at the concentrations higher than 4 mg/L of moxifloxacin.The similar results were obtained for viable cell counting.Bacteria in biofilms were eliminated partly or completely at concentrations higher than 0.25 mg/L.CONCLUSIONS Moxifloxacin is able to destroy the biofilms and reduce viable cells counting at high concentrations.
