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 ...

Antibacterial and Anti-biofilm Activity of AH Plus with Chlorhexidine and Cetrimide

Journal of Endodontics, 2014
The use of root canal filling materials with antibacterial activity can be considered beneficial to reduce the remaining microorganisms in the root canal system, where Enterococcus faecalis is often found, and prevent recurrent infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and capacity for inhibiting E.

IN VITRO EVALUATION OF BOSWELLIA SPP. ANTI-BIOFILM ACTIVITY

SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference� EXPO Proceedings, 2022
Recent years have seen an increase in microbial biofilm resistance, which has led to great challenges for the medical community in terms of treating diseases and the food industry in terms of contamination and the loss of shelf life. The purpose of this work is to test the antimicrobial efficacy against the biofilm formed by the following reference ...

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 ...
