Antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of nanoparticles in <i>Klebsiella quasipneumoniae</i>. [PDF]
RSC AdvBacterial biofilms are a complex, protective network comprising polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids which act as a physical barrier and are an important mechanism of antimicrobial resistance in human infections.

Bacteria mediated silver nanoparticles: comparison as potent antibiofilm agents
Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Introduction: Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have good antimicrobial properties comparable to chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles.

Antibiotics, 2023 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common bacterial infection with high recurrence rates and can involve biofilm formation on patient catheters. Biofilms are inherently tolerant to antimicrobials, making them difficult to eradicate. Many

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 ...

BMC Microbiology, 2021 Background In unfavourable environment, such as nutrient limitation, some bacteria encased themselves into a three dimensional polymer matrix called biofilm. The majority of microbial infections in human are biofilm related, including chronic lung, wound,

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.

Antibiofilm property and multiple action of peptide PEW300 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), an opportunistic pathogen, is often associated with difficulties in treating hospital-acquired infections. Biofilms formed by P.

Nile Tilapia Skin Impregnated with Antibacterial Silver/Titanium Dioxide Compounds
Applied Microbiology, 2023 The development of alternative (and free-of-antibiotics) antibacterial and antibiofilm agents is an important strategy to circumvent the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics.

Antibiofilm and Antiadhesive Activities of Different Synbiotics
Journal of Probiotics & Health, 2017 Synbiotics are a combination of probiotic bacteria and the growth promoting prebiotic ingredients that purport “synergism”. Probiotics are well known for their ability to restore a healthful balance of commensal microbes supporting the repair of hyper-permeable epithelial barriers and interfering with infection.
