El uso de L. plantarum LP5 con potencial probiótico puede ser un enfoque alternativo para reducir la formación de biofilms de patógenos involucrados en enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos (ETA) en las industrias a...

El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar y caracterizar las comunidades microbianas presentes en el ámbito médico-asistencial. Se tomaron muestras por duplicado mediante cinta de papel e hisopado y siembra en placas...

Antimicrobial drug resistance is a serious challenge in clinical settings worldwide, with biofilm formation having been associated with this problem. In the present study, the synergism of oligostyrylbenzene (OSB) compou...

IntroductionOrthopedic implant-associated infections, predominantly caused by S. aureus, pose significant challenges due to biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. Bioactive Glass (BAG) S53P4 is a unique material wi...

Surface adhesion is critical to the survival of pathogenic bacteria both in natural niches and during infections, often via forming matrix-embedded communities called biofilms. Vibrio cholerae, the causal agent of pandem...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Abstract The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a cornerstone technology in modern wastewater treatment, yet its performance is often hindered by carrier clogging, which significantly reduces overall treatment efficien...

Biodeterioration of archivalmaterials involves alteration of physicochemical and mechanical properties by organisms. This causes loss of aesthetic properties and irreversible degradation of documents. Since ancient times...

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus epidermidis, a ubiquitous inhabitant of human skin, has been known for decades for its capacity to form biofilm-associated infections on indwelling medical devices and has developed into a leading...

Phosphating is the formation of a phosphate layer (phosphate conversion coating) on a metal surface, with the aim of increasing the corrosion resistance of the metal and the adhesion strength of organic coatings. Phospha...

The success of Azospirillum in the rhizosphere is attributed to its chemotactic response to plant signals and nutrients, as well as its capacity to undergo morphological changes, form cellular aggregates, and produce ext...

En la industria alimentaria la presencia de biofilms en superficies en contacto con los alimentos es la causa principal de contaminación del producto final, además de obstruir cañerías y limitar el caudal de flujo en...

Biofilms are common in nature and are often associated with undesirable effects such as the deterioration of concrete, metal corrosion, fouling of oil and gas pipelines and ships hulls, dental plaques causing tooth decay...

Biofilm development is a survival strategy for majority of bacteria to adapt to their living environment. These biofilms are prevalent on most surfaces in nature. Microbial cells in biofilm exhibit significantly enhanced...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) combines the use of photosensitizers with visible light to produce reactive oxygen species that effectively eliminate pathogens. To investigate the impact of near- infrared therapy (NIRT) ...

Objective: The objective of this study was to synthesise a novel silver nanocomposite incorporating quorum-quenching enzyme N-acyl-homoserine lactone-lactonase Est816 (Ag-Est816) to inhibit periodontal biofilm formation....

The denture adhesive increases retention on the denture base and affects oral microorganisms. Adding antifungals to denture adhesives can inhibit the Candida albicans biofilms formation and prevent denture stomatitis. Th...

A straightforward and convenient approach for the first total syntheses of chromanone A and a related 7-OMe substituted natural product is reported. These unique C-3 substituted 2-hydroxymethyl chromones were recently is...

Bacterial biofilm are complex microbial communities covered by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which develops when a community of microorganisms irreversibly adheres to a living or inert surface. This str...

ABSTRACT Biofilms play a crucial role in medical, industrial, and environmental microbiology, yet their structural complexity often makes them challenging to study in undergraduate teaching laboratories. We present a sim...

Many cases of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections are caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pn), an infectious disease bacterium. Hospital inpatients can be exposed to this occurrence; MDR has transformed 26.96% ...

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is currently the golden standard for root canal irrigation. NaOCl at a concentration of 5.25% to 6% can eliminate E. faecalis, but this concentration can increase the risk of toxic effects. Cy...

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen able to survive in a wide range of environments even at refrigerated conditions. Their persistence in food processing environments is due to its ability to form biofilm. Bac...
