ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: Biofilm Dispersing Agent Rejuvenates Older Antibiotics
biofilm Dispersing Agent rejuvenates older Antibiotics An estimated 75% of bacterial infections involve biofilms, surface-attached colonies of bacteria that are protected by an extracellular matrix. Bacteria protected within biofilms are up to 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics than if they were freefloating (planktonic), which severely complicates treatment options. Rather than searchin...

متن کاملSynthesis of biofilm resistance characteristics against antibiotics
A phenomenological model for the biofilm resistance against biocide activity is analyzed in this work. The effect of different biofilm physical attributes when exposed to antibiotic treatment is investigated. Pertinent aspects affecting the biofilm resistance characteristics such as transport of the bulk fluid within the reactor, diffusive-reactive transport of the dissolved phase into the biof...
متن کاملAntibiotics or Probiotics: Reducing Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotics are important to successful livestock production. Unfortunately use of antibiotics applies selection pressure that results in antibiotic resistance in exposed populations of bacteria and can also result in antibiotic residues in meat and milk from treated animals. Of major current concern is the risk of transfer of antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes encoding resistance from peo...
متن کاملRelationship between Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Biofilm-Specific Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. The tested 272 isolates were collected from several hospitals in China during 2010-2013. Biofilm-forming capacities were evaluated using the crystal violet staining method. Antibiotic resistance/susceptibility pro...
