Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of Ukrainian collection of microorganisms].

The biofilm formation of three P. aeruginosa collection strains, isolated from human body, was investigated in stationary system on glass. It was shown, that biofilm formation of these microorganisms has three stages: initial formation, the further partial degradation and repeated accumulation. The intensity of biofilm formation correlates with survival rate of microorganisms in its structure that may be estimated by means of the "washout" method. The strain differences are typical of P. aeruginosa biofilm formation and determine further regularities of its development.
