Detection of the Release of Chlorhexidine from Cured Denture Resins Discs: Subsequently Deducing the Ability of Denture Resin as a Drug Carrier [PDF]
Introduction: The impact of Candida-associated denture stomatitis has been vastly discussed in the literature, starting from simple routine oral hygiene practices to the use of the denture itself as a drug delivery unit.

Effectiveness of antimicrobial-coated sutures for the prevention of surgical site infection: a review of the literature [PDF]
OBJECTIVE:Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the third most common hospital-acquired infections and account for 14% to 16% of all such infections, and suture material may play a role in SSI rate.

Incorporation of biguanide compounds into poly(GL)-b-poly(GL-co-TMC-co-CL)-b-poly(GL) monofilament surgical sutures [PDF]
A new biodegradable coating was developed for bioabsorbable monofilament sutures. Specifically, a random copolymer having 35 wt-% and 65 wt-% of lactide and trimethylene carbonate units showed appropriate flexibility, stickiness and degradation rate, as ...

Oral biofilms exposure to chlorhexidine results in altered microbial composition and metabolic profile [PDF]
Oral diseases (e.g., dental caries, periodontitis) are developed when the healthy oral microbiome is imbalanced allowing the increase of pathobiont strains.

Proteomic Analyses of Chlorhexidine Tolerance Mechanisms in
Protein expression and fatty acid profiles of biofilm cells of chlorhexidine-tolerant Delftia acidovorans (MIC = 15 µg/ml) and its chlorhexidine-susceptible mutant (MIC = 1 µg/ml) were investigated. The chlorhexidine-susceptible mutant (MT51) was derived

Biofilm-forming capability of highly virulent, multidrug-resistant Candida auris [PDF]
The emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogen Candida auris has attracted considerable attention as a source of healthcare–associated infections. We report that this highly virulent yeast has the capacity to form antifungal resistant biofilms sensitive
