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 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) ...

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% ...

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...

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...

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....

Ensuring microbial safety in drinking water remains a challenge, particularly for ageing infrastructure and complex treatment processes. Because water treatment works sit at the interface between source-water ecosystem i...

The probiotic Gram-positive bacterium Lactobacillus casei BL23 is naturally confronted with salt- stress habitats. It has been previously reported that growth in high-salt medium, containing 0.8 M NaCl, leads to modifica...

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease induced by pathogenic microorganisms. Effective management requires the elimination of plaque biofilms, the suppression of oxidative stress, and the regeneration of periodont...

Microbially-colonized sediments tend to be more resistant to erosional events than mostly abiotic sediments. However, the effect of complex microbial associations, such as microbial mats over sediments and the protection...

The detrimental effects of biofilms are a cause of great concern in medical, industrial and environmental areas. In this study, we proposed a novel eradication strategy consisting of the combined use of micropatterned su...

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus skin infections represent a persistent clinical challenge owing to their high pathogenicity, multidrug resistance, and biofilm-associated recurrence, which collectively impair an...
