International Journal of MicrobiologyBackground Fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, represent a growing public health threat due to increasing resistance to conventional antifungal agents. Consequently, there is a need for the development of novel antifungals. Objective This study evaluated the in vivo toxicity and efficacy of three peptides with antimicrobial

Diclofenac May Induce PIA‐Independent Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus aureus Strains
International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen commonly resistant to antibiotics. Biofilm formation is one of the important factors related to its virulence. Non‐antibiotics drugs, such as nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), have been studied as an alternative for treating infections by multiresistant pathogens and biofilm‐associated infections.
