Abstrakt: Aim: This study evaluated the effect of fluoxetine (FLU) on planktonic and biofilm growth and the antimicrobial susceptibility of Burkholderia pseudomallei . Materials & methods: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for FLU were determined by broth microdilution. Its effect on growing and mature biofilms and its interaction with antibacterial drugs were evaluated by assessing biofilm metabolic activity, biomass and structure through confocal microscopy. Results: The FLU MIC range was 19.53-312.5 μg/ml. FLU eradicated growing and mature biofilms of B. pseudomallei at 19.53-312.5 μg/ml and 1250-2500 μg/ml, respectively, with no structural alterations and enhanced the antibiofilm activity of antimicrobial drugs. Conclusion: These results bring perspectives for the use of FLU in the treatment of melioidosis, requiring further studies to evaluate its applicability.
