Controllingthe rate at which the baffle turns determines the in

18、tensity of theshear stress to which the coupons are exposed.At the end of the48 h, biofilm accumulation is quantified by removing couponsfrom suspended rods, harvesting the biofilm from the couponsurface by scraping the biofilm from the coupon, homogeniz-ing the removed biofilm to disaggregate the c

19、lumps, anddiluting and plating for viable cell enumeration.5. Significance and Use5.1 Bacteria that exist in biofilms are phenotypically differ-ent from suspended cells of the same genotype. Research hasshown that biofilm bacteria are more difficult to kill thansuspended bacteria (5, 7). Laboratory

20、biofilms are engineeredin growth reactors designed to produce a specific biofilm type.Altering system parameters will correspondingly result in achange in the biofilm. For example, research has shown thatbiofilm grown under high shear is more difficult to kill thanbiofilm grown under low shear (5, 8

21、). The purpose of this testmethod is to direct a user in the laboratory study of aPseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm by clearly defining eachsystem parameter. This test method will enable an investigatorto grow, sample, and analyze a Pseudomonas aeruginosabiofilm grown under high shear. The biofilm gene

22、rated in theCDC Biofilm Reactor is also suitable for efficacy testing.Afterthe 48 h growth phase is complete, the user may add thetreatment in situ or remove the coupons and treat themindividually.6.
