N-benzylimidazoles as potential antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents – syntheses, bioactivity and molecular docking studies

Scientific African, 2023
Biofilm formation has been identified as one of the major pathways by which pathogens evade the effect of antimicrobial agents, leading to drug resistance in general. The imidazole ring provides a promising scaffold for the design of viable antimicrobial

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans

, 2021
Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen in humans. Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor of C. albicans infections. We investigated the ability of the plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to inhibit the formation and removal of fungal ...

Macrolides decrease the minimal inhibitory concentration of anti-pseudomonal agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis patients in biofilm

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Biofilm production is an important mechanism for bacterial survival and its association with antimicrobial resistance represents a challenge for the patient treatment. In this study we evaluated the in vitro action of macrolides in combination
