Glycosyl hydrolase from Pseudomonas fluorescens inhibits the biofilm formation of Pseudomonads

Biofilm, 2023
Biofilms are complex microbial communities embedded in extracellular matrix. Pathogens within the biofilm become more resistant to the antibiotics than planktonic counterparts. Novel strategies are required to encounter biofilms.

Microemulsions are highly effective anti-biofilm agents [PDF]

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003
The demonstration of the antibiofilm effects of pharmaceutical microemulsions.Microemulsions were prepared as physically stable oil/water systems. Previous work by this group has shown that microemulsions are highly effective antimembrane agents that result in rapid losses of viability in planktonic populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and ...
