| Title: | Method for Identifying A Composition or Compound Having Antimicrobial and/or Anti-Biofilm Activities Against A Microorganism of Interest |
| Description: | The present invention generally relates to the field of microbiology, and more specifically to the field of antimicrobials. The present invention is based on a novel approach for searching active compositions or compounds having antimicrobial and/or anti-biofilm activities against a microorganism of interest based on growth curve analysis. The present invention provides a method for identifying a composition or compound having antimicrobial and/or anti-biofilm activities against a microorganism of interest, comprising the steps of a) providing a composition or compound, b) bringing the composition or compound in contact with a microorganism of interest in a growth medium; c) incubating the microorganism in the presence of the composition or compound; d) determining the growth of the microorganism by measuring the optical density in intervals during the incubation under c); e) preparing a growth curve from the measurement obtained under d); and f) analyzing the growth curve to determine if the composition or compound has antimicrobial and/or anti-biofilm activities against the microorganism. |
