Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles combined to calcium glycerophosphate: Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities
(2018-03-01)
Aim: To synthesize, characterize and evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of novel nanocomposites containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) associated or not to β-calcium glycerophosphate. Materials & methods: ...
Compounds with distinct targets present diverse antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy against candida albicans and streptococcus mutans, and combinations of compounds potentiate their effect
(2021-05-01)
Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans interact synergistically in biofilms associated with a severe form of dental caries. Their synergism is driven by dietary sucrose. Thus, it is necessary to devise strategies to ...
Effect of zirconium oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on physicochemical properties and antibiofilm activity of a calcium silicate-based material
(2014)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibiofilm activity against Enterococcus faecalis, compressive strength. and radiopacity of Portland cement (PC) added to zirconium oxide (ZrO2), as radiopacifier, with or ...
Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for control of microbial biofilms: A review
(2018-02-27)
Since the dawn of civilization, it has been understood that pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious conditions in humans, which at times, may prove fatal. Among the different virulent properties of microorganisms is ...
Synergistic and antibiofilm activity of the antimicrobial peptide P5 against carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Elsevier Science, 2019-07)
In the search for new antimicrobial molecules, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a viable alternative to conventional antibiotics, as they physically disrupt the bacterial membranes, leading to membrane disruption and ...
Cytocompatibility, physical properties, and antibiofilm activity of endodontic sealers with amoxicillin
(2017-09-01)
The aim was to evaluate the cytocompatibility of the AH Plus and Sealapex associated with amoxicillin (AA) in a quantity of 10% by total weight of the sealers, the flow and setting time of these sealers with 10%-0.25% AA ...
Antimicrobial activity of bioactive materials
(2019-05-22)
Bacteria are observed in the entire human body. When colonizing or forming biofilm in the oral cavity, may lead to primary, persistent or recurrent infections, resulting in destruction of dental hard and soft tissues. Since ...
In vitro effect of copper (I) complex [Cu(NN1)(2)](ClO4) on vibrio harveyi BB170 biofilm formation
(MDPI, 2021)
Biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria is an important factor of resistance to antimicrobial
treatments, allowing them to survive for a long time in their hosts. In the search for new antibiofilm
agents, in this work ...
