methods have found that probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) may inhibit biofilm formation of other E. coli strains and outcompete their growth. However, the exact mechanism of biofilm inhibition has yet to be elucidated. Using the EcN and E. coli K12 MG1655 (K12) strains, we investigated biofilm inhibition using a biofilm quantification assay.
