Synergistic effect of secondary metabolites of plants and products of probiotic bacteria on inhibition of biofilm-producing pathogens.

The project was focused on the study of the synergistic effect of bioactive components of plants and products of beneficial bacteria on production and eradication of biofilm in pathogenic micro-organisms in order to develop more effective approach to microbial infections. The obtained results contributed to the expansion of knowledge concerning factors and mechanisms controlling and affecting production of biofilms and development of resistance in pathogenic micro-organisms. These results can support future development of more effective approaches or preparations against microbial infections which can be applied in veterinary and human medicine.
