Conjugation of Inulin Improves Anti-Biofilm Activity of Chitosan [PDF]
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 Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans [PDF]
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]
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 Cocultimycin A against Candida albicans. [PDF]
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.

Anti-biofilm activity of antibiotic-loaded Hylomate®
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]
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.

Transfer of AgNPs' Anti-Biofilm Activity into the Nontoxic Polymer Matrix. [PDF]
A biological method was successfully applied to synthesize spherical silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) while using the extract of lavender (Ex-L) (lat. Lavandula angustifolia) as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The produced nanoparticles were spherical with an average size of 20 nm.

Anti-biofilm activity of bacteriophages and lysins in chronic rhinosinusitis
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.

Characterization of Anti-Biofilm Peptide Activity: A Biophysical Approach [PDF]
The increasing number of multidrug resistant bacteria to available antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. One major strategy for resistance and an important reason for failure of therapy in the clinic is biofilm formation. To cope with unfavorable surroundings many bacteria live as biofilms, sessile micro-colonies adherent to surfaces that secrete
