Polihexanide: a safe and highly effective biocide.
Polihexanide is a broad-spectrum antiseptic with excellent tolerance and a low-risk profile. The physicochemical action on the bacterial envelope prevents or impedes the development of resistant bacterial strains. Thus, polihexanide is particularly suitable and useful in the struggle against multidrug-resistant bacteria. The ecological database is still incomplete. There is some evidence that b...
متن کاملDNA Ministrings: Highly Safe and Effective Gene Delivery Vectors
Conventional plasmid DNA vectors play a significant role in gene therapy, but they also have considerable limitations: they can elicit adverse immune responses because of bacterial sequences they contain for maintenance and amplification in prokaryotes, their bioavailability is compromised because of their large molecular size, and they may be genotoxic. We constructed an in vivo platform to pr...
متن کاملPathogenic Nocardia, Rhodococcus, and related organisms are highly susceptible to imidazole antifungals.
Rhodococcus equi and species of Nocardia and Gordonia may be human opportunistic pathogens. We find that these, as well as several isolates from closely related genera, are highly susceptible to the imidazoles bifonazole, clotrimazole, econazole, and miconazole, whose MICs are </=1 micro g/ml. In liquid cultures 1 micro g of the drug/ml was bacteriostatic and 10 micro g/ml was bactericidal. On ...
متن کاملCommercial mouthwashes are more effective than azole antifungals against Candida albicans biofilms in vitro.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the activity of prescription and over-the-counter antimicrobial compounds against planktonic and biofilm forms of Candida albicans isolated from cases of oral candidiasis in vitro. STUDY DESIGN The efficacy of azoles, polyenes, an echinocandin, and 4 over-the-counter mouthwashes were tested against C. albicans-derived planktonic and ...
متن کاملMicroemulsions are highly effective anti-biofilm agents.
AIMS The demonstration of the antibiofilm effects of pharmaceutical microemulsions. METHODS AND RESULTS Microemulsions were prepared as physically stable oil/water systems. Previous work by this group has shown that microemulsions are highly effective antimembrane agents that result in rapid losses of viability in planktonic populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. In ...
