Résumé

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant nosocomial pathogen related to ventilator-associated pneumonia owing to biofilm formation. Trisodium citrate (TSC) has antibacterial activity, but there is little research on the effect of TSC on biofilm formed by K. pneumoniae. The aims of this study were to evaluate the inhibitory effect of 4% TSC on K. pneumoniae biofilm formation and to determine the best time of TSC addition for biofilm inhibition. A total of 45 K. pneumoniae strains isolated from tracheal tip and sputum specimens were included. Modified Congo red agar was used to screen for biofilm production. Biofilm-positive strains were cultured for 4 days. TSC (4%) was added either initially or 3 days later. Crystal violet staining was used to quantify biofilm mass by measuring the optical density at 570 nm (OD The OD TSC can inhibit K. pneumoniae biofilm formation and has the best effect when added initially.
