Effects of the peptides on A. baumannii biofilm. (A,B) Inhibitory percentage of the peptides (1/8 × , 1/4 × and 1 × MIC) on biofilm forming of MRAB 0227 and AB 22933 (1 × 105 CFU/mL); (C,D) disaggregation of 1-day mature biofilm by the peptides (1 × MIC, 2 × MIC, and 4 × MIC); * (P < 0.05) and ** (P < 0.01) indicate statistically significant differences between peptide and the MRAB 0227/AB 22933 group; (E–H) expression of biofilm associated genes bfmR (E), csuE (F), csuA/B (G) and ompA (H) of MRAB 0227 by RT-qPCR. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 3).
