Real-Time Assessment of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Disruption by Phage-Derived Proteins
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 A current focus of research is the development of new tools for removing bacterial biofilms in industrial settings. Bacteriophage-encoded proteins, such as endolysins, virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases, and exopolysaccharide depolymerases, have ...

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.

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 ...

Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Makaluvamine Analogs [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2014 Streptococcus mutans is a key etiological agent in the formation of dental caries. The major virulence factor is its ability to form biofilms. Inhibition of S. mutans biofilms offers therapeutic prospects for the treatment and the prevention of dental caries.

Recent development of nanomedicine for the treatment of bacterial biofilm infections
View, 2021 Bacterial biofilm related infections are ever growing issues for global medical community. Traditional antibiotic therapy is usually ineffective for treating them because the bacteria inside biofilms have evolved with multiple mechanisms to evade ...
