Study of antimicrobial effects of several antibiotics and iron oxide nanoparticles on biofilm producing pseudomonas aeruginosa

Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen resistant to most antimicrobial treatments. Furthermore, it persists in adverse environments thereby forming biofilms on various surfaces. Researchers have therefore focused on antibiofilm strategies using nanoparticles due to their unique physicochemical properties. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SIONPs) have recently s...

Antimicrobial dressing efficacy against mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm on porcine skin explants

Methods: The assessments were performed on biofilm attached to dermal tissue using an ex vivo porcine skin explant biofilm model. Its use as a dermal substrate for attachment and the primary source of nutrition provides an alternative cost-effective method that more closely mimics in vivo conditions, with the advantages of an in vitro system, to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of treatments a...

Antimicrobial dressing efficacy against mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm on porcine skin explants.

An ex vivo porcine skin explant biofilm model that preserves key properties of biofilm attached to skin at different levels of maturity (0-3 days) was used to assess the efficacy of commercially available antimicrobial dressings and topical treatments. Assays were also performed on the subpopulation of antibiotic tolerant biofilm generated by 24 hours of pre-treatment with gentamicin (120× mini...

Heavy metal resistance of biofilm and planktonic Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A study was undertaken to examine the effects of the heavy metals copper, lead, and zinc on biofilm and planktonic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A rotating-disk biofilm reactor was used to generate biofilm and free-swimming cultures to test their relative levels of resistance to heavy metals. It was determined that biofilms were anywhere from 2 to 600 times more resistant to heavy metal stress than f...
