Microemulsions 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 ...
متن کاملAnti-Biofilm Strategies: How to Eradicate Candida Biofilms?
In nature, microorganisms prefer to reside in structured microbial communities, termed biofilms, rather than as free-floating planktonic cells. Advantageous for the microorganisms, but disadvantageous for human health, is the increased resistance/tolerance of the biofilm cells to antimicrobial treatment. In clinically relevant biofilms, Candida albicans is one of the most frequently isolated mi...
متن کاملStrategies to overcome biofilm resistance
Biofilm have been found to be involved in a wide variety of microbial infections in the body, by one estimate 80% of all infections. A number of anti-biofilm strategies have emerged to prevent the colonization and formation of biofilms. However, there are four main intervention strategies in clinical practice for biofilm-associated infections. The first strategy is to prevent the initial microb...
متن کاملEcology of Anti-Biofilm Agents II: Bacteriophage Exploitation and Biocontrol of Biofilm Bacteria
Bacteriophages are the viruses of bacteria. In the guise of phage therapy they have been used for decades to successfully treat what are probable biofilm-containing chronic bacterial infections. More recently, phage treatment or biocontrol of biofilm bacteria has been brought back to the laboratory for more rigorous assessment as well as towards the use of phages to combat environmental biofilm...
متن کاملBiofilm Structure of Foodborne Pathogens
The ability of many bacteria to adhere to surfaces and to form biofilms has major implications in a variety of industries including the food industry, where biofilms create a persistent source of contamination. It is reported that biofilms are more resistant to antimicrobials compared to planktonic cells. The colonization of bacteria on the food processing surfaces and even the food structure, ...
