Synthetic small molecules as anti-biofilm agents in the struggle against antibiotic resistance
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2019Biofilm formation significantly contributes to microbial survival in hostile environments and it is currently considered a key virulence factor for pathogens responsible for serious chronic infections. In the last decade many efforts have been made to identify new agents able to modulate bacterial biofilm life cycle, and many compounds have shown ...

Baicalin, a natural antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agent
Journal of Herbal Medicine, 2021Abstract The development of drug-resistant bacteria as a result of the inappropriate use of antibiotics, has led to a study on other sources of drugs for the treatment of bacterial infections. Natural compounds derived from medicinal plants have long been considered a rich source of therapeutic agents.

Quorum Sensing Inhibitors as Anti-Biofilm Agents
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014Biofilms are microbial sessile communities characterized by cells that are attached to a substratum or interface or to each other, are embedded in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances and exhibit an altered phenotype compared to planktonic cells.

A REVIEW ON NATURAL ANTI BIOFILM AGENTS FOR WOUND BIOFILM
INDIAN DRUGS, 2021A biofilm may be a consortium of micro-organisms in which the cells of microbes attach to each other on a living or non-living surface inside a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. The bacterial or fungal colonies invade the surface of the wounds, thereby delaying the healing cascade.

Biofilms are microbial communities with enhanced interbacterial communication and cooperation. A good knowledge of anti-biofilm options is essential to ensuring correct management and treatment of biofilm-driven infections, with two main interest areas, namely prevention of biofilm formation and eradication of mature biofilm. Wounds can become infected

Antimicrobial Peptides as Anti-biofilm Agents in Medical Implants
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2016Biofilm-associated infections constitute a daunting threat to human health, since these pathologies increase patient mortality and morbidity, resulting in prolonged hospitalization periods and heavy economic losses. Moreover, these infections contribute to the increasing emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance in hospitals and in the ...

Anti-biofilm Agents in Control of Device-Related Infections
2014The persistence and relative impermeability of biofilm matrices make the treatment of biofilm-producing organisms much more challenging than the treatment of their planktonic counterparts. However, the challenge is one worth rising towards, as the incidence of biofilm related infectious continues to increase, comprising up to 75 % of all bacterial ...

In Vitro Evaluation of Anti-biofilm Agents Against Salmonella enterica
2020Salmonella enterica is able to establish robust adherent communities called biofilms that allow for long-term colonization of both biotic and abiotic surfaces. These biofilm communities pose a significant challenge to successful eradication of the bacteria from contaminated surfaces and the infected host, as entry into the biofilm phenotype confers the

AMPs as Anti-biofilm Agents for Human Therapy and Prophylaxis
2019Microbial cells show a strong natural tendency to adhere to surfaces and to colonize them by forming complex communities called biofilms. In this growth mode, biofilm-forming cells encase themselves inside a dense matrix which efficiently protects them against antimicrobial agents and effectors of the immune system. Moreover, at the physiological level,

Resveratrol, pterostilbene, and baicalein: plant-derived anti-biofilm agents
Folia Microbiologica, 2017Microbial adhesion to surfaces and the subsequent biofilm formation may result in contamination in food industry and in healthcare-associated infections and may significantly affect postoperative care. Some plants produce substances with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that are able to inhibit the growth of food-borne pathogens. The aim of our
