Biofilm dispersal by NTZ. S. epidermidis strain 9142 bacteria were grown under biofilm-producing conditions for 4 h. Following washing of the bacteria, fresh medium and the indicated concentrations of NTZ were added for an additional 16 h, and biofilm accumulation was determined with crystal violet. NTZ inhibited further biofilm formation in a concentration-dependent manner but did not disperse the existing biofilm.
