Sonorensin: A new bacteriocin with potential of an anti-biofilm agent and a food biopreservative [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractThe emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria has led to exploration of alternative therapeutic agents such as ribosomally synthesized bacterial peptides known as bacteriocins. Biofilms, which are microbial communities that cause serious chronic infections, form environments that enhance antimicrobial resistance.

Surface grafting of polymeric catheters and stents to prevent biofilm formation of pathogenic bacteria

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Tecothane (medical grade of polyurethane) is strongly involved in the fabrication of metallic and polymeric-based medical devices (e.g., catheters and stents) as they can withstand cardiac cycle-related forces without deforming or failing, and

Beyond the Risk of Biofilms: An Up-and-Coming Battleground of Bacterial Life and Potential Antibiofilm Agents

Life, 2023
Microbial pathogens and their virulence factors like biofilms are one of the major factors which influence the disease process and its outcomes. Biofilms are a complex microbial network that is produced by bacteria on any devices and/or biotic surfaces ...

Identification of a Small Molecule Anti-biofilm Agent Against Salmonella enterica [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Biofilm formation is a common strategy utilized by bacterial pathogens to establish persistence in a host niche. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the etiological agent of Typhoid fever, relies on biofilm formation in the gallbladder to chronically colonize asymptomatic carriers, allowing for transmission to uninfected individuals. S. enterica serovar

Image_1_Promising Anti-Biofilm Agents and Phagocytes Enhancers for the Treatment of Candida albicans Biofilm–Associated Infections.jpeg

, 2022
Little is known about the interactions among phagocytes and antifungal agents and the antifungal immunomodulatory activities on Candida species biofilms. Here, inhibition of C. albicans biofilms and the interactions among biofilms and phagocytes alone or

A growing battlefield in the war against biofilm-induced antimicrobial resistance: insights from reviews on antibiotic resistance

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Biofilms are a common survival strategy employed by bacteria in healthcare settings, which enhances their resistance to antimicrobial and biocidal agents making infections difficult to treat. Mechanisms of biofilm-induced antimicrobial resistance involve

Biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitis: Pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2016
Background: There is increasing evidence that biofilms are critical to the pathophysiology of chronic infections including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Until relatively recently, our understanding of biofilms was limited.
