Anti-Biofilm Agents to Overcome Pseudomonas aeruginosa Antibiotic Resistance. [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of world’s most threatening bacteria. In addition to the emerging prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains, the bacterium also possesses a wide variety of virulence traits that worsen the course of the infections. Particularly, its ability to form biofilms that protect colonies from antimicrobial agents is a major ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin-Nitroxide Conjugates as Anti-Biofilm Agents. [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 As bacterial biofilms are often refractory to conventional antimicrobials, the need for alternative and/or novel strategies for the treatment of biofilm related infections has become of paramount importance. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel hybrid molecules comprised of two different hindered nitroxides linked to the piperazinyl secondary amine

Multidrug resistance and biofilm formation among bacterial isolates from chronic wounds in animals: evaluation of anti-biofilm activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceChronic wound infections in animals represent a growing clinical challenge due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and their ability to form biofilms, which significantly reduce treatment efficacy and promote persistent infection. This

Coumarin derivatives as new anti-biofilm agents against Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS OneStaphylococcus aureus infections are the primary causes of morbidity, and mortality, particularly in immuno-compromised individuals. S. aureus associated infections are acquired from community, as well as hospital settings, and difficult to treat because of the emerging resistance against available antibiotics.
