Claims19
A liquid composition for the prevention or removal of a biofilm, the liquid composition comprising one or more surfactant(s), one or more sequestering agent(s), and a phosphodiesterase having deoxyribonuclease (DNAse) activity, said phosphodiesterase being one or more DNAse(s) of HNH type and/or having at least 95% identity with a sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-13.
A method for the removal of a biofilm comprising a lactic acid bacterium, wherein the lactic acid bacterium is:
- selected from the group consisting of:
- Lacobacillus sp, Pediococcus sp, Lactococcus sp. Streptococcus sp, Teragenococcus sp, Leuconostoc sp, Oenococcus sp, and Bifidobacterium sp;
- selected from the group consisting of:
- Listeria monocytogenes, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis;
- and/or
- selected from the group consisting of:
- Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Staphylococcus epidermidis or Clostridium sp.
A composition for the prevention or treatment of biofilms present on a substantially vertical surface, the composition comprising:
- one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of:
- a DNAse, a protease, a polysaccharidase, a lipase, a laccase, and any combination thereof;
- and
- one or more surfactants, wherein at least one surfactant of the one or more surfactant is a foaming surfactant.
