The present study assesses the in vitro antibiofilm potential activity of extracts of wild <i>Allium</i> <i>ursinum </i>and <i>Allium</i> <i>oschaninii</i>. The active ingredients of the extracts were obtained with a technique named Naviglio (rapid solid−liquid dynamic extraction, RSLDE) which is based on an innovative and green solid−liquid extraction methodology. The extracts were tested against models of mono- and polymicrobial biofilm structures of clinically antibiotic-resistant pathogens, <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> ATCC 10031 and <i>Candida albicans</i> ATCC 90028. Biofilms were studied using a static and a dynamic model (microtiter plates and a CDC reactor) on three different surfaces reproducing what happens on implantable medical devices. Antimicrobic activities were determined through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), while antibiofilm activity was assessed by minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) using a crystal violet (CV) biofilm assay and colony forming unit (CFU) counts.
