Evaluating the Activity of an Anti-biofilm Agent via Imaging
The majority of human infections are considered to be due to microbes growing in complex communities called biofilms. Biofilms are often highly resistant to common antibiotics as compared to their planktonic (suspended) counterparts, yet many strategies to evaluate antimicrobials focus primarily on planktonic cells. To address the need for test methods to assess antimicrobial activity in biofil...
متن کاملInvestigation of anti-microbial properties of chitosan-Tio2 Nanocomposite and its use on sterile gauze pads
Abstract Background and objectives: In this research, the formation of chitosan-TiO2 nanocomposite and its antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus was investigated Material and Methods: to study the results, we used Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transition electron microscopy (TEM) images, infrared (IR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible. Optical Density (O...
متن کاملCurcumin: An age-old anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic agent
Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that has been used for treating medical conditions for many years. Several experimental and pharmacologic trials have demonstrated its efficacy in the role as an anti-inflammatory agent. Curcumin has been shown to be effective in treating chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's and common malignancies li...
متن کاملSonorensin: A new bacteriocin with potential of an anti-biofilm agent and a food biopreservative
The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria has led to exploration of alternative therapeutic agents such as ribosomally synthesized bacterial peptides known as bacteriocins. Biofilms, which are microbial communities that cause serious chronic infections, form environments that enhance antimicrobial resistance. Bacteria in biofilm can be upto thousand times more resistant to antibiotics than...
متن کاملProduction of anti-cancer agent using microbial biotransformation.
Microbial biotransformation is a great model system to produce drugs and biologically active compounds. In this study, we elucidated the fermentation and production of an anti-cancer agent from a microbial process for regiospecific hydroxylation of resveratrol. Among the strains examined, a potent strain showed high regiospecific hydroxylation activity to produce piceatannol. In a 5 L (w/v 3 L)...
