Ecology of Anti-Biofilm Agents II: Bacteriophage Exploitation and Biocontrol of Biofilm Bacteria
Pharmaceuticals, 2015 Bacteriophages are the viruses of bacteria. In the guise of phage therapy they have been used for decades to successfully treat what are probable biofilm-containing chronic bacterial infections.

Managing sticky situations - anti-biofilm agents. [PDF]
Germs, 2016 Biofilm-related infections are accountable for increasing morbidity and disability, particularly in an era when surgery has evolved to new heights and is able to repair or replace virtually any damaged component of the human body. Bacteria have recently been redefined as “intelligent” beings, able to communicate, coordinate, and store in their ...

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

Anti-biofilm agents from marine biota
Journal of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, 2023 Microbial biofilm forms on any living or non-living material surface contacting with microbial species. It is a persistent world-weight spread problem with very high prize. This explains the exclusive interest to development of anti-biofilm material surfaces.

Microemulsions are highly effective anti-biofilm agents [PDF]
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003 The demonstration of the antibiofilm effects of pharmaceutical microemulsions.Microemulsions were prepared as physically stable oil/water systems. Previous work by this group has shown that microemulsions are highly effective antimembrane agents that result in rapid losses of viability in planktonic populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and ...
