Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of the benzoquinone oncocalyxone A
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2020Resistance to antimicrobials is a challenging issue that complicates the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and fungi, thus requiring new therapeutic options. Oncocalyxone A, a benzoquinone obtained from Auxemma oncocalyx (Allem) Taub has several biological effects; however, there is no data on its antimicrobial action.

Antibiofilm action of phytochemicals on Enterobacteriaceae
Journal of Bioscience and BioengineeringThe biofilm-associated infections pose a great threat to human health. The available drugs are not effective due to the formation of biofilm and limited access to underlying pathogens. The initiation of biofilm formation occurs through adhesion, facilitated by the adhesin protein MrkD1P in the fimbriae tip.

Essential Oils with Microbicidal and Antibiofilm Activity
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2015Plants are rich in a wide variety of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial properties. Phytochemistry studies on the plants extracts in general, and on essential oils (EOs) in particular are focused on the isolation and identification of the components of complex mixtures, in order to determine structure - activity correlations (i.e., physiological ...

Nanomaterials for Antibiofilm Activity
2019The community established by the association of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi leads to biofilm formation. Microorganisms are embedded in the extracellular polymeric matrix of biofilm adhering to biotic and abiotic surfaces or substratum. Biofilm can grow on medical devices, living tissues, or implants and cause infection in patients.

Trends of biomolecule-conjugated nanoparticles as antibiofilm
Microbial PathogenesisBiofilm is a powerful barrier that significantly enhances the pathogenicity of bacteria and the development of multidrug resistance. Nanoparticles (NPs) coupled with biomolecules provide a novel approach to addressing this issue. This review briefly discusses the current trends in Biomolecule-Conjugated NPs combined with enzymes, antibiotics ...
