Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cocultimycin A against Candida albicans. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Candida albicans (C. albicans), the most common fungal pathogen, has the ability to form a biofilm, leading to enhanced virulence and antibiotic resistance. Cocultimycin A, a novel antifungal antibiotic isolated from the co-culture of two marine fungi, exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on planktonic C. albicans cells.

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

Phytochemical fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles and their antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The synthesis of metal nanoparticles through bio-reduction is environmentally benign and devoid of impurities, which is very important for biological applications. This method aims to improve ZnO nanoparticle's antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity while reducing the amount of hazardous chemicals used in nanoparticle production.

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen in humans. Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor of C. albicans infections. We investigated the ability of the plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to inhibit the formation and removal of fungal biofilms. Further, we evaluated its mode of action.

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabigerol against Streptococcus mutans [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Streptococcus mutans is a common cariogenic bacterium in the oral cavity involved in plaque formation. Previous studies showed that Cannabigerol (CBG) has bacteriostatic and bacteriocidic activity against S. mutans. The aim of the present study was to study its effect on S. mutans biofilm formation and dispersion. S.

Anti-biofilm activity of antibiotic-loaded Hylomate®

IJC Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Antibiotic envelopes are being developed for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) wrapping to reduce the risk of infections.Fifteen CIED infection-associated bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Cutibacterium acnes were used to assess in vitro biofilm formation on Hylomate® compared to titanium, silicone ...

Graphene-based dental adhesive with anti-biofilm activity [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2017
Secondary caries are considered the main cause of dental restoration failure. In this context, anti-biofilm and bactericidal properties are desired in dental materials against pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans. To this purpose, graphene based materials can be used as fillers of polymer dental adhesives.

Anti-biofilm activity of bacteriophages and lysins in chronic rhinosinusitis

Acta virologica, 2021
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an otolaryngological disease with a recalcitrant nature, predominantly due to antibiotic resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation. The intracellular residency of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was observed in CRS.
