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...

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...

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...

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...

Objective: To develop an antimicrobial and anti-adherent thymol (TOH)-containing coating on titanium (Ti) by a bioinspired one-step biocompatible method. Methods: A nanolayer of adsorbed TOH (TOH-NL-Ti) was formed by an ...

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...

ntimicrobial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) is a treatment method that links a light source to a photosensitizing carrier. There is no clear standardization regarding the exact therapeutic concentration when it is combine...

Bovine mastitis, considered the most important cause of economic losses in the dairy industry, is a major concern in veterinary medicine. Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the main path...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and thermoplastics nylon are extensively composed as an alternative material for removable denture base. The primary difference between the two materials is associated with water absorption pr...

Abstract Background To compare the antibacterial activity of conventional intracanal medicaments used in regenerative endodontic treatment (TAP, DAP, Ca(OH)₂, CHX gel) with novel hydrogel-based formulations (chitosan, ...

One way that pathogens develop resistance to pharmaceuticals is by forming biofilms, which are 3-D communities of bacteria. As a result, there is considerable interest in identifying new antibiofilm agents from nature th...

The effect of lactocin AL705, bacteriocin produced by Latilactobacillus (Lat.) curvatus CRL1579 against Listeria biofilms on stainless steel (SS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coupons at 10 ◦C was investigated. L....
