Antibiofilm peptides against oral biofilms [PDF]
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 The oral cavity is a major entry point for bacteria and other microorganisms. Oral biofilms are formed by mixed communities of microorganisms embedded in an exopolysaccharide matrix.

Promising biotechnological applications of antibiofilm exopolysaccharides [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2012 Polysaccharides are polymers of carbohydrates with anenormous structural diversity, from long linear repetition ofthe same monomer to highly branched structures of dif-ferent sugars. This high structural diversity reflects thefunctional diversity of these molecules.

Antibiofilm polysaccharides [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2012 Summary Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides have been shown to mediate many of the cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐surface interactions that are required for the formation, cohesion and stabilization of bacterial biofilms.

Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Peptides [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 The increasing onset of multidrug-resistant bacteria has propelled microbiology research towards antimicrobial peptides as new possible antibiotics from natural sources. Antimicrobial peptides are short peptides endowed with a broad range of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and are less prone to trigger resistance. Besides

Antibiofilm activity of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 capsular polysaccharide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cell-free extracts isolated from colony biofilms of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 were found to inhibit biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, but not by A.

Noneluting Enzymatic Antibiofilm Coatings [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2012 We developed a highly efficient, biocompatible surface coating that disperses bacterial biofilms through enzymatic cleavage of the extracellular biofilm matrix. The coating was fabricated by binding the naturally existing enzyme dispersin B (DspB) to surface-attached polymer matrices constructed via a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique.
