Antimicrobial Activity of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs on Biofilm: Current Evidence and Potential for Drug Repurposing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
It has been demonstrated that some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, have anti-biofilm activity in concentrations found in human pharmacokinetic studies, which could fuel an interest in ...

Quercetin Inhibits Biofilm Formation by Decreasing the Production of EPS and Altering the Composition of EPS in Staphylococcus epidermidis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic pathogen, and its biofilm formation ability is an important virulent factor. Quercetin, a typical flavonoid ubiquitously used in dietary supplementation, is known for its antioxidant property, but its anti ...

Study on the anti-biofilm mechanism of 1,8-cineole against Fusarium solani species complex

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Fungal-infections are mostly due to fungi in an adhering, biofilm-mode of growth and not due to planktonically growing, suspended-fungi. 1, 8-cineole is a natural product, which has been shown to possess antifungal effect.

Lichen Polyphenolic Compounds for the Eradication of Candida albicans Biofilms

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Lichens, due to their symbiotic nature (association between fungi and algae), constitute a chemical factory of original compounds. Polyphenolic compounds (depsides and depsidones) are the main constituents of lichens and are exclusively biosynthesized by

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.
