Structure-activity relationship study of the plant-derived decapeptide OSIP108 inhibiting Candida albicans biofilm formation [PDF]
, 2014 We performed a structure-activity relationship study of the antibiofilm plant-derived decapeptide OSIP108. Introduction of positively charged amino acids R, H, and K resulted in an up-to-5-fold-increased antibiofilm activity against Candida albicans ...

Volatiles from Subtropical Convolvulaceae That Interfere with Bacterial Cell-to-Cell Communication as Potential Antipathogenic Drugs [PDF]
, 2016 Increasing chronic bacterial infections create an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents or strategies for their control. Targetingvirulence is one of the alternative approaches to find new medicines to treat persistent infections due to bacteria with ...

Antiviral, Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of Selenoesters and Selenoanhydrides [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Selenoesters and the selenium isostere of phthalic anhydride are bioactive selenium compounds with a reported promising activity in cancer, both due to their cytotoxicity and capacity to reverse multidrug resistance. Herein we evaluate the antiviral, the biofilm inhibitory, the antibacterial and the antifungal activities of these compounds.

Social interactions in the Burkholderia cepacia complex : biofilms and quorum sensing [PDF]
, 2010 Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria are opportunistic pathogens that cause respiratory tract infections in susceptible patients, mainly people with cystic fibrosis. There is convincing evidence that B.

Antibiofilm Activity of Electrical Current in a Catheter Model [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016 ABSTRACT Catheter-associated infections are difficult to treat with available antimicrobial agents because of their biofilm etiology. We examined the effect of low-amperage direct electrical current (DC) exposure on established bacterial and fungal biofilms in a novel experimental in vitro catheter model.

The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of copper(II) complexes [PDF]
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2014 Biofilm-related bacterial infections pose a significant problem, as they are generally more tolerant to antibiotics and the immune system. Development of novel compounds with antibiofilm activity is therefore paramount. In this study we have analysed metal complexes of the general structure [M(IL)(AL)](2+) (where IL represents functionalised 1,10 ...
