Antibiotics with antibiofilm activity - rifampicin and beyond. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolThe management of prosthetic joint infections is a complex and multilayered process that is additionally complicated by the formation of bacterial biofilm. Foreign material provides the ideal grounds for the development of an intricate matrix that hinders treatment and creates a difficult environment for antibiotics to act.

Fatty Acids as Prebiotics and Their Role in Antibiofilm Activity. [PDF]
Antibiotics (Basel)Microbial biofilms pose significant medical and industrial challenges due to their resistance to conventional antimicrobials, accounting for 40–80% of bacteria in various environments. This resistance primarily results from the extracellular polymeric matrix, a protective network of sugars, proteins, and other molecules produced by bacteria. The matrix

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 Activity of PEGylated Branched Polyethylenimine
ACS Omega, 2022 Biofilm formation is an adaptive resistance mechanism that pathogens employ to survive in the presence of antimicrobials. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an infectious Gram-negative bacterium whose biofilm allows it to withstand antimicrobial attack and threaten human health. Chronic wound healing is often impeded by P.

Antibiofilm and repair activity of ozonated oil in liposome [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2021 Summary The use of medical devices, such as contact lenses, represents a substantial risk of infection, as they can act as scaffolds for formation of microbial biofilms. Recently, the increasing emergency of antibiotic resistance has prompted the development of novel and effective antimicrobial drugs for biofilm ...

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of ZIF-67
The Journal of Antibiotics, 2023 AbstractCurrently, antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent a serious threat to public health worldwide. Biofilm formation potentiates both virulence and antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Therefore, the discovery of new antibacterial and antibiofilm compounds is an issue of paramount importance to combat and prevent hard-to-treat bacterial infections ...
