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.

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 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.

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 ...

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 Properties of Acetic Acid [PDF]
Advances in Wound Care, 2015 Bacterial biofilms are known to be extremely tolerant toward antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. These biofilms cause the persistence of chronic infections. Since antibiotics rarely resolve these infections, the only effective treatment of chronic infections is surgical removal of the infected implant, tissue, or organ and thereby the biofilm ...

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 ...
