The utilization of biomaterials in implanted blood-contacting medical devices often induces a persistent problem of microbial infection,which results from bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on the surface of biomaterials.In this research,we developed new fluorinated alkoxyphosphazene materials,specifically...
Here, it is shown that application of a silver nano-coating directly on dentine can successfully prevent the biofilm formation on dentine surfaces as well as inhibit bacterial growth in the surrounding media. This silver nano-coating was found to be stable (>98.8%) and to maintain its ...
Adhesion and colonization are prerequisites for the establishment of bacterial pathogenesis. The biofilm development ofPseudomonas aeruginosawas assessed on adhesive surfaces like dialysis membrane, stainless steel, glass and polystyrene. Microtiter plate biofilm assay was performed to assess the effect of nut...
Anti‐adhesion therapies interfere with the bacterial adhesion to the host and thus avoid direct disruption of bacterial cycles for killing, which may alleviate resistance development. Herein, an anti‐adhesion nanomedicine platform is made by wrapping synthetic polymeric cores with bacterial outer ...
Bacterial biofilm is an important factor in bacterial drug resistance. In this work, taking Staphylococcus aureus as an example, the inhibition of positive electret on bacterial biofilm was verified ...
In particular, the invention concerns the use of a soluble group II-like capsular polysaccharide from a bacterial strain, for the preparation of a composition which prevents or inhibits bacterial adhesion and/or bacterial biofilm development. Anti-biofilm compositions, and devices treated to prevent ...
It has been reported that the effectiveness of FV in reducing bacterial adhesion and biofilm accumulation decreased over time7. Recently, light-curable fluoride varnish (LCFV) based on resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) has been introduced. It is considered to have advantages of longevity and ...
Adhesion of bacteria to the mucosal epithelial cell surface is the first step in infection, and studies have shown that inhibition of this step may be useful therapeutically. To test compounds that may prevent bacterial binding to a number of epithelial cell lines, we have developed a high-throu...
Nanomaterials, defined by their nanoscale dimensions or as composites of nanoscale units, are a promising alternative for advancing biofilm prevention and control. On the one hand, small-scale structures of these materials impart distinctive properties not observed in conventional materials, such as surfa...
combining the keywords “antibiofilm,”“candida albicans,”“compound,” and “molecule” with AND and OR operators. After 3 phases of selection, 21 articles describing 42 molecules were discussed in the review. Most of them were more promising for the inhibition of biofilm formation, with SM21...
