Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore whether ciprofloxacin‑incorporated waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) polymers have the capacity to inhibit bacterial biofilm formation in vitro. WBPU polymers were incorporated with ciprofloxacin and were cultured with Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in media for 2, 4 or 7 days. In another experiment, the WBPU membranes were cultured with Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) in artificial urine for 2, 4 or 7 days. Colony counting, scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence confocal microscopy were utilized to examine bacterial biofilms on the surfaces of membranes. The membranes were further co‑cultured with P. mirabilis in a simple model of an artificial catheterized bladder in order to evaluate their ability to control encrustation. The WBPU films with ciprofloxacin effectively inhibited bacterial biofilm formation in the culture medium and in artificial urine. In addition, in artificial urine, the films with ciprofloxacin reduced catheter obstruction. In conclusion, ciprofloxacin‑incorporated WBPU polymers are able to effectively inhibit bacterial biofilm formation in vitro.
