PAM extract inhibits S. aureus surface attachment and disperses preformed S. aureus biofilms. (A and B) Binding of S. aureus cells to stainless steel (A) and polystyrene (B) rods in the presence or absence of 3% PAM extract. Values show mean CFU per rod and range for duplicate rods. (C) Binding of S. aureus cells to polycarbonate tubes in 15 min in the presence of 0, 0.1, or 1% PAM extract. Values show mean CFU per tube and range for duplicate tubes. (D) Detachment of 18-h-old S. aureus biofilms by PAM extract. Biofilms were rinsed with water and treated with the indicated concentration of PAM extract for 1 h. Biofilms were then rinsed with water and quantitated by crystal violet staining. Values show mean absorbance and range for duplicate wells.
