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.

Biosynthesized selenium nanoparticles: characterization, antimicrobial, and antibiofilm activity against Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Control over microbial growth is a crucial factor in determining the success of endodontic therapy. Enterococcus faecalis is the most resistant biofilm-forming species leading to endodontic failure.

Promising Antibiofilm Activity of Peptidomimetics [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Pathogenic biofilms are a global health care concern, as they can cause extensive antibiotic resistance, morbidity, mortality, and thereby substantial economic loss. Scientific efforts have been made over the past few decades, but so far there is no effective treatment targeting the bacteria in biofilms. Antimicrobial peptidomimetics have been proposed

Antibiofilm Activity of Plant Polyphenols [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 In the history of human medicine, antibiotics represent epochal examples of medical progress. However, with an approaching antibiotic crisis due to the emergence and extensive spread of antimicrobial resistance among bacterial agents, as well as to increasing number of patients with chronic and recalcitrant bacterial biofilm-associated infections, the ...

Synthetic antibiofilm peptides
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2016 Bacteria predominantly exist as multicellular aggregates known as biofilms that are associated with at least two thirds of all infections and exhibit increased adaptive resistance to conventional antibiotic therapies. Therefore, biofilms are major contributors to the global health problem of antibiotic resistance, and novel approaches to counter them ...

Investigation of the antibiofilm capacity of peptide-modified stainless steel [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Biofilm formation on surfaces is an important research topic in ship tribology and medical implants. In this study, dopamine and two types of synthetic peptides were designed and attached to 304 stainless steel surfaces, aiming to inhibit the formation ...
