Antibiofilm peptides against oral biofilms
The oral cavity is a major entry point for bacteria and other microorganisms. Oral biofilms are formed by mixed communities of microorganisms embedded in an exopolysaccharide matrix. Biofilms forming on dental hard or soft tissue are the major cause of caries and endodontic and periodontal disease. Human oral biofilms exhibit high resistance to antimicrobial agents. Antibiofilm peptides constit...
متن کاملEfficacy of Dilute Povidone-Iodine against Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Biofilms, Fungal Biofilms and Fungal Spores
Objective: To study the in vitro effect of novel low-dose povidoneiodine formulations against established biofilms of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans and to test the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration of the same formulations against Candida auris, Trichophton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, Candida albicans and Asp...
متن کاملBioactive Compounds Produced by Hypoxylon fragiforme against Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms
Treating infections organized in biofilms is a challenge due to the resistance of the pathogens against antibiotics and host immune cells. Many fungi grow in a wet environment, favorable for the growth of bacterial biofilms, and we speculated that fungi possess some strategies to control these bacterial biofilms. A fungus identified as Hypoxylon fragiforme, was collected in the Harz Mountains, ...
متن کاملFungal Biofilms
• They are responsible for a broad spectrum of microbial infections in the human host [1] • Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis biofilms are relatively resistant to fluconazole, amphotericin B, nystatin, voriconazole and others [2]. • Aspergillus fumigatus biofilms are relatively resistant to itraconazole and, to some extent, to caspofungin [3]. • Cryptococcal biofilms are unaffected by f...
متن کاملBioactive Peptides
The increased consumer awareness of the health promoting effects of functional foods and nutraceuticals is the driving force of the functional food and nutraceutical market. Bioactive peptides are known for their high tissue affinity, specificity and efficiency in promoting health. For this reason, the search for food-derived bioactive peptides has increased exponentially. Over the years, many ...
