Efficacy of phage vABWU7 to prevent biofilm formation and remove preformed biofilm. The efficacy of phage vABWU7 to prevent biofilm formation was evaluated. The biofilm biomass (a) and bacterial cell viability (b) were determined by the crystal violet assay and colony counting method, respectively. The ability of phage vABWU7 to remove preformed biofilm was investigated by quantification of biofilm biomass (c) and cell viability in biofilm formation (d). Experiments were undertaken independently in triplicate with duplicate assay. The data show the mean ± SEM (* p value < 0.05).
