Chitosans antibakterielle egenskaper
BioClean børstene fra Labrida er blant annet laget av chitosan. Her kan du lese om Chitosans antibakterielle egenskaper i artikkelen «Antimicrobial Effect of Chitosan againt Periodontal Pathogens Biofilms»
Chitosan showed a strong effect against periodontal pathogens
throught the inhibition of biofilm formation, with activity being
registered even after 168h, and against dual species biofilms,
thus indicating that chitosan may interfere with bacterial coaggregation.
Furthermore, chitosan was capable of inhibiting C.
violaceum violacein production, a known QS reporter system,
therefore showing a potential to disturb biofilm formation by QS
inhibition.
