Structural characteristics of in situ undisturbed human oral biofilm and activity of antimicrobial agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although some evidence on the structural characteristics of in situ early PL-biofilm has been described, there are few studies on the antibacterial effects of agents on this microbial structure. A major application of advanced microbiological and/or microscopy techniques, in combination with CLSM, needs to be exploited in future research in order to increase knowledge of the global characterisation of in situ PL-biofilms, as well as of the antibacterial effects of agents frequently used in Dentistry on biofilm structure.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in situ antibacterial activity of a mouthrinse with 0.2% Chlorhexidine (M-0.2% CHX) on undisturbed de novo plaque-like biofilm (PL-biofilm) and on salivary flora up to 7 hours after its application. METHODS A special acrylic appliance was designed, with 3 inserted glass disks on each buccal side, allowing for PL-biofilm growth. Fifteen healthy volunteers wore the app...
متن کاملInvestigations of Antimicrobial Activity of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Extracts against Six Pathogenic Bacteria in Planktonic Form and Biofilm
Background & Aims: Microorganisms are protected from antimicrobial agents when placed in biofilm structure. Biofilm-producing microorganisms are responsible for many problems in industry and medicine; therefore, it is essential to find new techniques for removing and inhibiting biofilms. This study aimed to examine the antimicrobial effect of Eucalyptus camaldulensis alcoholic extracts against ...
متن کاملThe association of biofilm formation and sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobial agents
Introduction: Although bacteria producing biofilm are more resistance to antimicrobial agents, biofilm formation can stimulated by sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of some antimicrobial agents. Therefore, we designed present study to investigate the in vitro efficacy of several antibiotics (including ceftazidime, piperacillin, ticarcillin, carbenicillin, aztreonam, merop...

Background and Objective: Microbial biofilms are responsible for 65% of human infections, and are resistance to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important biofilm producing bacteria. This review tries to explain the last mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation, the reasons for its resistance to antimicrobial agents, as well as new preventive measures and a...
