Abstract :
Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the main infectious agents responsible for causing mastitis. The response of Klebsiella mastitis to treatment is poor. We speculate that one of the reasons behind the prevalence of K. pneumoniae infections is its ability to form biofilms. The objectives of this study were to determine in vitro biofilm formation and we also observed the effect lactoferrin in the biofilm production. Tweleve strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from chronic mastitic cows, were tested by microtiter plate (MP) and Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). The MP methods were used to observed the effect of lactoferrin (LF) in the biofilm production. K. pneumoniae ATCC13833, was used as a control in bacterial identification and biofilm formation. The LF were used in three different concentration 0.1 mg/ml (LF0.1), 0.5 mg/ml (LF0.5) dan 0.85 mg/ml (LF0.85). There are 12 strain displayed a biofilm-phenotype when tested by MP including the ATCC and one strain not forming biofilm. The strains were further classified as weak (41.67 %) and strong (50%) biofilm formers. LF0.1 is enhanced the forming of biofilm in vitro as for LF0.5 and LF0.85 diminished biofilm formation of K. pneumoniae in vitro.
