Probiotics are considered useful therapeutic option in combating pathogenic biofilms. This study evaluates the anti-biofilm properties of potential probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and fermented maize supernatant (Omidun) against selected biofilm-forming pathogens. Crystal violet biofilm assay was used to determine LAB and Omidun biofilm inhibition and dispersion in selected pathogens (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), S. aureu and Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli) at different concentration (1%, 10%, 50%, 100%) of neutralized and non-neutralized cell free supernatant (CFS). Percentage biofilm inhibitions and dispersions were evaluated, and data were analysed with ANOVA. Omidun and LAB showed promising biofilm inhibitory and dispersive effect against the selected pathogens. L. plantarum showed the greatest biofilm inhibitory effect (P. aeruginosa: 7.85%, CoNS: 27.75%, S. aureus: 66.90%, EAEC: 39.73%) and dispersive effect (P. aeruginosa: 15.94%, CoNS: 23.27%, S. aureus: 24.90%, EAEC: 32.09%) against the selected pathogens while Omidun showed the least biofilm inhibitory and dispersive effect against the selected pathogens. There was no significance difference in the percentage of biofilm inhibition and dispersion produced under different concentrations, neutralized and non-neutralized state. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most resistant pathogen while Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) was the most susceptible. Inhibition and dispersion of biofilm can be mediated by LAB and Omidun, these effects appear to be independent of the produced organic acids","PeriodicalId":479809,"journal":{"name":"Fudma Journal of Sciences","volume":"306 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140470902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On income, 31.5% earned between 41,000 -60,000 while 30.5% earned 81,000 and above.

The data were analyzed using thematic method of analysis involving manual coding and themes generations. Result revealed on one hand that some of the households have started to adopt modern energy services for cooking while on the other hand some households have been using energy mix consisting solid forms of energy and modern energy services concurrently while some still rely heavily on solid forms of energy for their cooking energy requirements. It was found that energy access, affordability, cost, family size, income and education are the main factors influencing energy transition in the area.
