Abstract
A simple Pseudomonas aeruginosa G48 biofilm on stainless steel discs p rovided a useful primary screen of the potentiating effects of various permeabilizing agents on antibacterial agents. Experiments with Ps. a eruginosa suspensions could not be used to predict the effects of bioc ides and permeabilizers on biofilms. Although antibacterial activity a gainst biofilms was less than demonstrated in suspension tests, potent iation by some permeabilizers was still observed.
