results results showed desirable antimicrobial effects of the silver nanoparticles and plant extract on the formation of the pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm and the highest effect was observed in silver nanoparticles and the lowest inhibitory effects were observed in bucks beard and prangos ferulaceae. conclusions medicinal plants used in the study decreased the rate of biofilm formation. since ...

conclusions bacterial resistance against chlorhexidine is increasing. sub-mic doses of chlorhexidine digluconate can stimulate the formation of biofilm strains. materials and methods forty clinical isolates of escherichia coli, salmonella serotypes, staphylococcus. aureus and streptococcus agalactiae (10 isolates for each) were examined for chlorhexidine digluconate effects on biofilm formation...

Background & Aims: B.cepacia is one of the causative agents of health care associated infections which have the ability of attachment to different surfaces and biofilm formation is one of the most important virulence factors in pathogenesis of this microorganism. Nanoparticles are key components which are considered for the designing of new antimicrobial agents, no studies have been done on the...

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...
