The aims of this study were isolation-purification and characterization of L-glutaminase from L. gasseri BRLHM clinical isolates and investigation of its efficiency as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa. The MICs of L-glutaminase and gentamicin reference were evaluated by the well-diffusion method. The biofilm on the IUD contraceptive was visualized using atomic force microscopy (AFM) image analyses. The purified L-glutaminase possessed significant antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa isolates (p < 0.05), and the antibiofilm formation activity of the purified L-glutaminase was stronger than the antibiofilm activity of the referral standard drug, gentamicin (P < 0.05), which were checked by the inhibition of the biofilm formation on the IUD contraceptive device. Investigations indicated that L-glutaminase may have a crucial role in future clinical applications.
