Anti-biofilm activity of a polysaccharide from marine sponge associated Bacillus licheniformis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Secondary metabolites ranging from furanone to exo-polysaccharides have been suggested to have anti-biofilm activity in various recent studies. Among these,Escherichia coli group II capsular polysaccharides were shown to inhibit biofilm formation in a ...

Hsp90 governs dispersion and drug resistance of fungal biofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Fungal biofilms are a major cause of human mortality and are recalcitrant to most treatments due to intrinsic drug resistance. These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires ...

Preventing biofilm formation using surfactants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Microbial adhesion to abiotic surfaces and consequent biofilm formation has been documented in many environments. In many technical processes, the presence of microorganisms is acceptable as long as they remain planktonic.

Individual Constituents from Essential Oils Inhibit Biofilm Mass Production by Multi-Drug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus represents a problem in both the medical field and the food industry, because the biofilm structure provides protection to embedded cells and it strongly attaches to surfaces.

Staphylococcal Biofilm on the Surface of Catheters: Electron Microscopy Evaluation of the Inhibition of Biofilm Growth by RNAIII Inhibiting Peptide [PDF]

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the main causative agents of medical device-related infections due to their biofilm-forming capability, which protects them from the host’s immune system and from the action of antimicrobials.

Marine biofilm bacteria evade eukaryotic predation by targeted chemical defense [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Many plants and animals are defended from predation or herbivory by inhibitory secondary metabolites, which in the marine environment are very common among sessile organisms.

A Standardised Combinational Method for Evaluating Antimicrobial Compounds Against Biofilm Attachment, Development and Eradication

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Biofilm-mediated antimicrobial resistance remains a significant challenge for healthcare and patient safety. Currently, there are gaps in standardised methods for assessing antimicrobials against biofilm formations such as (1) assessment of initial ...
