Selective Antibiofilm Effects of Lucilia sericata Larvae Secretions/Excretions against Wound Pathogens

Figure 1

Effects of maggot ES, HES at concentration of 10 mg/mL, and proteinase K (PK) at concentration of 0.01 μg/mL on (a) Staphylococcus aureus, (b) Enterobacter cloacae, and (c) Proteus mirabilis biofilm formation in Tryptone Soya Broth medium after 24 h in 96-well plate. The values of absorbance are mean SEM of three independent assays. The data were statistically analyzed by the Student’s 𝑡-test (^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001).
