Abstract
to alcohol 70% (0/36) was not able to reduce the biofilm formed ( p = 1.00). Quaternary ammonium (2/36, 5.5%) ( p ≤ 0.0023), sodium hypochlorite at 0.1% and 0.5% were able to reduce the biofilm in 38.8% and 94.4% ( p ≤ 1.32x10 -6 ), respectively. In concentrations ≥ 1.0%, sodium hypochloride eliminated 100% of biofilms. Conclusion: In conclusion, sodium hypochlorite at concentrations ≥ 1.0 %/15 min seems to be the most effective disinfectant for S. maltophilia biofilm elimination. As sodium hypochlorite cannot be applied in certain surfaces due to its corrosive action, other studies are necessary in order to find alternative disinfectants.
