Surface Immobilization of Antibacterial Quorum Sensing Inhibitors by Photochemical Activation
Infection of implanted medical devices is one of the major causes of nosocomial infections. A significant proportion of the devices become colonized by bacterial biofilms, thus resulting in high morbidity and risk of mortality. This study focuses on the non-specific covalent attachment of potent quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm inhibiting compounds, furanones (FUs) and dihydropyrrol-2-ones (DHPs...
متن کاملA novel binary chlorhexidine-chitosan irrigant with high permeability, and long lasting synergic antibacterial effect.
Objective.Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is an irrigant with a reasonable antibacterial ability and rather high permeability yet often fails to remove the smear layer. To solve this problem, CHX is upgraded through its complexion with chitosan (CS). Methods.Molar roots are split longitudinally by a rotary diamond saw. Chlorhexidine-chitosan (CHX-CS) is made by combinatio...
متن کاملLong-circulating bacteriophage as antibacterial agents.
The increased prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens motivated us to attempt to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of bacteriophages. The therapeutic application of phages as antibacterial agents was impeded by several factors: (i) the failure to recognize the relatively narrow host range of phages; (ii) the presence of toxins in crude phage lysates; and (iii) a lack of appreciatio...
متن کاملAppropriate Targets for Antibacterial Drugs.
Successful small-molecule antibacterial agents must meet a variety of criteria. Foremost is the need for selectivity and safety: It is easy to kill bacteria with chemicals, but difficult to do it without harming the patient. Other requirements are possession of a useful antibacterial spectrum, no cross-resistance with existing therapeutics, low propensity for rapid resistance selection, and pha...
متن کاملMarine-Derived Quorum-Sensing Inhibitory Activities Enhance the Antibacterial Efficacy of Tobramycin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Bacterial epiphytes isolated from marine eukaryotes were screened for the production of quorum sensing inhibitory compounds (QSIs). Marine isolate KS8, identified as a Pseudoalteromonas sp., was found to display strong quorum sensing inhibitory (QSI) activity against acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-based reporter strains Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 and CV026. KS8 supernatant significantl...
