Understanding the Mechanism of Bacterial Biofilms Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents
A biofilm is a group of microorganisms, that causes health problems for the patients with indwelling medical devices via attachment of cells to the surface matrix. It increases the resistance of a microorganism for antimicrobial agents and developed the human infection. Current strategies are removed or prevent the microbial colonies from the medical devices, which are attached to the surfaces....
متن کاملConsequences of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents.
to review what current knowledge exists on the impact of antimicrobial bacterial resistance and address the methodologic obstacles to its assessment. Simply to state that a patient died of an infection caused by a resistant organism does not prove that the death was due to the resistance. To prove the statement as to cause of death, two approaches— " imputable death " and " attributable death "...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens represent a serious public health concern. Antimicrobial agents such as anti-bacterial drugs are often indicated for chemotherapy of bacterial infections in clinical medicine. Thus, it is important to study the biological mechanisms that confer bacterial pathogenesis and virulence. Under selective evolutionary pressure when in the presence of an...
متن کاملAdaptive responses to antimicrobial agents in biofilms.
Bacterial biofilms demonstrate adaptive resistance in response to antimicrobial stress more effectively than corresponding planktonic populations. We propose here that, in biofilms, reaction-diffusion limited penetration may result in only low levels of antimicrobial exposure to deeper regions of the biofilm. Sheltered cells are then able to enter an adapted resistant state if the local time sc...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance in biofilms
The ability of microorganisms to form biofilms is closely related to infectious diseases, and environmental and biotechnological processes. Biofilms constituting a microbial multicellular lifestyle and are defined as organized communities of bacteria, collaborating among themselves and being attached to an inert or living surface contained in a self-produced polymeric matrix made principally of...
