Prevention and Control of Biofilm Based Infection in Medical Devices and Related Infections through Traditional and Advanced Methods

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Biofilms are surface-attached bacterial communities that are widespread in nature. A key factor in their development is quorum sensing (QS), a mechanism of intercellular communication among bacteria. Biofilm formation serves as a pivotal mechanism in the

Ultra‐High‐Throughput Discovery of Multifunctional Polyphenolic Coatings on Droplet Microarrays

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ultra‐high‐throughput (UHT) combinatorial strategy enables the miniaturized synthesis and screening of ≈30 000 polyamine‐polyphenolic (PaPp) coatings using droplet microarrays (DMA). This approach reveals hundreds of previously unknown fluorescent, redox‐active, and antibacterial materials, including multifunctional, cell‐compatible surfaces ...

Role of mutation in pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development.

, 2009
The survival of bacteria in nature is greatly enhanced by their ability to grow within surface-associated communities called biofilms. Commonly, biofilms generate proliferations of bacterial cells, called microcolonies, which are highly recalcitrant, 3 ...

A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

ZnO/CdS Nanocomposite: An Anti-Microbial and Anti-Biofilm Agent

Advances in Microbiology, 2020
Microbial infectious are becoming a global threat, which is a reason for rise in mortality of human beings. One of the reasons for this mortality has been the drug resistance in microbes. The drug resistance poses a major challenge for effective control of microbial infections, and this threat has prompted us to search for alternative strategy to ...

Multi‐Enzyme Mimetic Molybdenum Nitride Nanozymes Reshape Subgingival Microenvironment for Synergistic Periodontitis Therapy via ROS Regulation and Microbiome Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...
