bacterial biofilm and its inhibition mechanisms relying on anti-biofilm properties of plant compounds

Authors
abstract

abstract biofilm is a complex community of microorganisms residing within a polysaccharide and/or protein matrix. biofilm can be produced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. both gram positive and gram negative bacteria have this ability. resistance of biofilm to antimicrobial agents is becoming a global issue. bacterial biofilms are important in various aspects such as chronic human infections, dental plaque, infection of indwelling medical devices like catheters; animal and plant diseases and they are also a major problem in industries and food processing units. it is estimated that more than 80% of all microbial infections are caused by biofilms. the aim of this study was to describe biofilm and the importance of bacterial biofilms. we discoursed about resistance of bacteria in biofilm phase; and finally, the known anti-biofilm mechanisms have been discussed. also, due to the importance of plant compounds for treatment of bacterial infections and as, there has been increased interest in controlling of bacterial infections by these substances, some recent studies in this field (plant compounds as anti-biofilm agents) have been expressed.

Bacterial Biofilm: Dispersal and Inhibition Strategies

Bacterial biofilms are communities of microorganisms residing within a polysaccharide matrix. Dental plaque, slimy coating in tanks, and algal mats on bodies of water are examples of biofilms. It is well accepted that biofilms play important role in bacterial persistence and antibiotic resistance in chronic infections. It is acknowledged that the majority of microbial cells on earth are living ...

Anti-Biofilm Compounds Derived from Marine Sponges

Bacterial biofilms are surface-attached communities of microorganisms that are protected by an extracellular matrix of biomolecules. In the biofilm state, bacteria are significantly more resistant to external assault, including attack by antibiotics. In their native environment, bacterial biofilms underpin costly biofouling that wreaks havoc on shipping, utilities, and offshore industry. Within...

Anti-biofilm Properties of Bacterial Di-Rhamnolipids and Their Semi-Synthetic Amide Derivatives

A new strain, namely Lysinibacillus sp. BV152.1 was isolated from the rhizosphere of ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea L.) producing metabolites with potent ability to inhibit biofilm formation of an important human pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, Staphylococcus aureus, and Serratia marcescens. Structural characterization revealed di-rhamnolipids mixture containing rhamnose (Rha)-Rha-C10-C1...
