Introduction: biofilm-related infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsi-ella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are difficult to treat and few effective pharmacological options are currently available for this purpose. In this context, coumarin (2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one) has been reported to have antibacterial and antibiofilm activity, but this potential remains poorly understood. Aim: to investi-gate the action of coumarin on planktonic and biofilm forms of S. aureus, K. pneu-moniae and P. aeruginosa. Results: a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of coumarin ranging from 256 to 1024 μg/mL was observed, with a remarkable ability to inhibit the formation of biofilms and to act on mature biofilms in concentrations close to MIC. Conclusion: coumarin has strong activity against planktonic and biofilm forms on the three species of great relevance in the clinical scenario. These results are interesting to enable a pharmacological alternative for the treatment of these infections.

Introducción: las infecciones relacionadas con la biopelícula causadas por Staphylo-coccus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae y Pseudomonas aeruginosa son difíciles de tratar y actualmente existen pocas opciones farmacológicas eficaces para este propósito. En este contexto, se ha informado que la cumarina (2H-1-Benzopiran-2-ona) tiene actividad antibacteriana y antibiofilm, pero este potencial sigue siendo poco cono-cido. Objetivo: investigar la acción de la cumarina sobre formas planctónicas y de biopelículas de S. aureus, K. pneumoniae y P. aeruginosa. Resultados: se observó una concentración inhibitoria mínima (CMI) de cumarina en el rango de 256 a 1024 μg/mL, con una notable capacidad para inhibir la formación de biofilms y actuar sobre biofilms maduros en concentraciones cercanas a la CMI. Conclusión: la cumarina tiene una fuerte actividad contra las formas planctónicas y biofilm sobre las tres espe-cies de gran relevancia en el escenario clínico. Estos resultados son interesantes para habilitar una alternativa farmacológica para el tratamiento de estas infecciones.

Esses resultados são interessantes para possibilitar uma alternativa farmacológica para o tratamento dessas infecções.
