New Perspectives in Biofilm Eradication.
Microbial biofilms, which are elaborate and highly resistant microbial aggregates formed on surfaces or medical devices, cause two-thirds of infections and constitute a serious threat to public health. Immunocompromised patients, individuals who require implanted devices, artificial limbs, organ transplants, or external life support and those with major injuries or burns, are particularly prone...
متن کاملBiofilm dispersion and quorum sensing.
Biofilm development and quorum sensing (QS) are closely interconnected processes. Biofilm formation is a cooperative group behaviour that involves bacterial populations living embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. QS is a cell-cell communication mechanism that synchronizes gene expression in response to population cell density. Intuitively, it would appear that QS might coordinate t...
متن کاملBiofilm formation and determination of minimum biofilm eradication concentration of antibiotics in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
The study was aimed to investigate biofilm forming ability of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and to determine the minimum biofilm eradication concentrations of antibiotics. Biofilm forming ability of six strains of M. hyopneumoniae was examined using crystal violet staining on coverslips. The results demonstrated an apparent line of biofilm growth in 3 of the strains isolated from swine with confirme...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Bacteriophage as a Method of Biofilm Eradication
The ability of bacteriophage and their associated polysaccharide depolymerases to control enteric biofilm formation was investigated. Bacteriophages specific for Enterobacter strains were isolated from primary effluent sewage. Combinations of three phages were required before complete eradication of single species biofilms of Enterobacter cloace occurred. Attempts to eliminate a susceptible bac...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of ciprofloxacin loaded histidine modified chitosan nanoparticle for eradication of Pseudomonas aeroginosa biofilm
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm is one of the problems in antibiotic treatment of infections. Nanomedicines such as chitosan can carry multiple drugs and improve the therapeutic effects of antibiotics. Objectives: The study aimed to synthesis and characterization of ciprofloxacin loaded chitosan nanoparticle for eradication biofilm of P. aeroginosa. Methods: Cipro-CS microparticles...
