Antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of thymoquinone against Shigella flexneri

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021
Shigella flexneri (Sh. flexneri), a common foodborne pathogen, has become one of the main threats to food safety and human health due to its high pathogenicity and persistent infection. The objective of this study was to explore the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities and the possible mechanism of thymoquinone (TQ) against Sh. flexneri.

Anti-biofilm and wound-healing activity of chitosan-immobilized Ficin

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
Biofouling is among the key factors slowing down healing of acute and chronic wounds. Here we report both anti-biofilm and wound-healing properties of the chitosan-immobilized Ficin. The proposed chitosan-adsorption approach allowed preserving ~90% of the initial total activity of the enzyme (when using azocasein as a substrate) with stabilization ...

Anti-biofilm activity of Marula – A study with the standardized bark extract

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2014
Marula (Sclerocarya birrea; family - Anacardiaceae) is an African plant, which enjoys wide socio-economic importance particularly in southern part of Africa. The fruits are consumed as food and also as alcoholic beverage (cream liquor). In different parts of Africa, the decoction of the bark is traditionally used for the treatment of dysentery ...

The anti-biofilm activity secreted by a marinePseudoalteromonasstrain

Biofouling, 2011
Bacterial biofilms occur on all submerged structures in marine environments. The authors previously reported that the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 secretes antibiofilm activity. Here, it was discovered that another Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain, D41, inhibited the development of strain 3J6 in mixed biofilms.

Anti-biofilm and cytotoxicity activity of impregnated dressings with silver nanoparticles

Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2015
Infections arising from bacterial adhesion and colonization on chronic wounds are a significant healthcare problem. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated in dressing have attracted a great deal of attention as a potential solution. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm activities of AgNPs impregnated in commercial dressings ...

Anti-Biofilm Activities of Nanocomposites: Current Scopes and Limitations

2021
The past few decades have seen revolutions in the applications of nanomaterials in different walks of science. One of the significant applications in healthcare is the use of nanoparticles (NP) in killing both free floating and biofilm forming bacteria. Several nanoparticles like CuO, Fe3O4, TiO2, ZnO, MgO and Al2O3 NPs have been proven to achieve this

Chromatography and Anti-Biofilm Activity of Chiral Carbon Nanoparticles

2023
Biofilms have evolved to be resistant to natural and man-made antibiotics. The biochemical composition and barrier function of the extracellular polymeric substance prevent penetration of traditional antimicrobials reduce proliferation of bacterial cells embedded in it.
