Conjugation of Inulin Improves Anti-Biofilm Activity of Chitosan [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 Bacteria biofilm helps bacteria prevent phagocytosis during infection and increase resistance to antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium and is tightly associated with biofilm-related infections, which have led to great

Anti-Biofilm Molecules Targeting Functional Amyloids [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2021 The choice of an effective therapeutic strategy in the treatment of biofilm-related infections is a significant issue. Amyloids, which have been historically related to human diseases, are now considered to be prevailing structural components of the biofilm matrix in a wide range of bacteria.

Anti-biofilm agents from marine biota
Journal of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, 2023 Microbial biofilm forms on any living or non-living material surface contacting with microbial species. It is a persistent world-weight spread problem with very high prize. This explains the exclusive interest to development of anti-biofilm material surfaces.

Light-Based Anti-Biofilm and Antibacterial Strategies
Pharmaceutics, 2023 Biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance pose significant challenges not only in clinical settings (i.e., implant-associated infections, endocarditis, and urinary tract infections) but also in industrial settings and in the environment, where the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is on the rise. Indeed, developing effective strategies to
