Strategies 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 کاملThermodynamic and Quantum Thermodynamic Analyses of Brownian Movement
Brownian movement has a history of more than two centuries. Studies that appeared in the scientific archival literature in the period until 1920 are listed by Einstein [1]. Articles that were written until 1970 are presented in Refs. [2] and [3]. Three-dimensional Brownian motors are discussed in [4], and Brownian movement of E. coli in [5]. All these studies and articles are based on a variety...
متن کاملInnovative Strategies to Overcome Biofilm Resistance
We review the recent literature concerning the efficiency of antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation toward various microbial species in planktonic and biofilm cultures. The review is mainly focused on biofilm-growing microrganisms because this form of growth poses a threat to chronically infected or immunocompromised patients and is difficult to eradicate from medical devices. We discuss the b...
متن کاملMechanisms of biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents.
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It has become clear that biofilm-grown cells express properties distinct from planktonic cells, one of which is an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. Recent work has indicated that slow growth and/or induction of an rpoS-mediated stress response could contribute to biocide resistance. The physical and/or chemical struc...
