Antibiofilm Activity of a Thermoformable Material Loaded With Essential Oil Solution

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Interest in antimicrobial surfaces for dental devices, such as aligners and brackets, is growing. These surfaces are designed to retard biofilm formation. One approach is to load essential oils (EOs) into the material. The focus of this study was the antibacterial, anti‐biofilm, and anti‐inflammatory activities of an EO solution ...

Multifaceted Suppression of Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes: In Vitro Study of a Cellular Status With Reduced Agr Activity and Impaired Biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Finding of in vitro S. aureus status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm. ABSTRACT Anti‐quorum sensing (QS) therapy has been focused on to reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. However, there is a risk that suppression of the staphylococcal QS Agr system might promote biofilm formation.

Adjuvant Antibacterial Effects of Mouriri Elliptica Against Clinical Multidrug Resistant Gram‐Negative Bacterial Strains

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
The ethanolic leaf extract of Mouriri elliptica exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates and enhanced the activity of ampicillin. Its diverse chemical profile and low acute toxicity support this Cerrado species as a promising source of natural antibacterial adjuvants. ABSTRACT Bacterial resistance

Genomic and Phenotypic Characterization of Two Novel Enterobacter Phages With EDTA‐Enhanced Antibiofilm Activity

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Two novel lytic Enterobacter phages, HHH and RZH, displayed targeted antibiofilm activity against MDR Enterobacter cloacae complex biofilms when combined with EDTA. Activity was strongest within a narrow low‐millimolar EDTA window, reducing biofilm biomass and viable burden, while higher EDTA concentrations shifted the interaction towards antagonism ...

Nanoemulsification Promotes Antibacterial Activity of Selected Essential Oils Against Multidrug‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms In Vitro

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Schematic illustration of the workflow for the fabrication and biological evaluation of essential oil (EO)–based nanoemulsions (NEs). The NEs exhibited superior antibacterial activity compared with the corresponding crude EOs while maintaining high biosafety toward a skin cell line. ABSTRACT Essential oils (EOs) are unique materials with healing powers

Osteomyelitis: Epidemiology, Classification, Pathophysiology, Clinical Features, Diagnosis, and Management

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The immunosuppressive in OM Staphylococcus aureus employs multiple physical barriers to evade host immunity during skeletal infection, including biofilm formation on implant surfaces and necrotic bone tissues, invasion into the osteocyte lacuno‐canalicular network (OLCN), intracellular persistence within osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, and ...
