Drug delivery strategies for antibiofilm therapy

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2023
Although new antibiofilm agents have been developed to prevent and eliminate pathogenic biofilms, their widespread clinical use is hindered by poor biocompatibility and bioavailability, unspecific interactions and insufficient local concentrations.

The Chemistry of Antibiofilm Phytocompounds

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Phytocompounds are long known for their therapeutic uses due to their competence as antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial activity of these bioactive compounds manifests their ability as an antibiofilm agent and is thereby proved to be competent to treat the widespread biofilm-associated chronic infections.

Polysaccharide-based antibiofilm surfaces

Acta Biomaterialia, 2016
Surface treatment by natural or modified polysaccharide polymers is a promising means to fight against implant-associated biofilm infections. The present review focuses on polysaccharide-based coatings that have been proposed over the last ten years to impede biofilm formation on material surfaces exposed to bacterial contamination.

Dental materials with antibiofilm properties

Dental Materials, 2014
Oral bacteria have evolved to form biofilms on hard tooth surfaces and dental materials. The antibiofilm effect of materials used for the restoration of oral function affects oral health. In this review we describe the features involved in the formation of oral biofilms on different surfaces in the oral cavity and the antibiofilm properties of dental ...

Elucidation of innovative antibiofilm materials

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2015
It is known for roughly a decade that bacterial communities (called biofilms) are responsible for significant enhanced antibiotherapy resistance. Biofilms are involved in tissue persistent infection, causing direct or collateral damage leading to chronic wounds development and impairing natural wound healing.

Antibiofilm activity of nanosized magnesium fluoride

Biomaterials, 2009
The ability of bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance and colonize abiotic surfaces by forming biofilms is a major cause of medical implant-associated infections and results in prolonged hospitalization periods and patient mortality. This raises the urgent need to develop compounds that can inhibit bacterial colonization of surfaces.

Nanomaterials for Antibiofilm Activity

2019
The 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.

Antibiofilm Strategies in the Food Industry

2014
Biofilms in food processing plants represent not only a problem to human health but also cause economic losses by technical failure in several systems. In fact, many foodborne outbreaks have been found to be associated with biofilms. Biofilms may be prevented by regular cleaning and disinfection, but this does not completely prevent biofilm formation ...

Curcumin: a natural antibiofilm agent

Science and Technology Against Microbial Pathogens, 2011
Biofilms resistance to killing prompts the need to discover new agents that inhibit and/or eradicate these microbial communities. Screening natural compounds for antibiofilm activity is becoming a promising approach. In this study we characterized the antibiofilm activity of curcumin.
