Staphylococcal biofilm on the surface of catheters: Electron microscopy evaluation of the inhibition of biofilm growth by rnaiii inhibiting peptide
(2021-07-01)
Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the main causative agents of medical device-related infections due to their biofilm-forming capability, which protects them from the host’s ...
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 ...
Silver colloidal nanoparticles: Effect on matrix composition and structure of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms
(2013-04-01)
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different silver nanoparticles (SN) concentrations on the matrix composition and structure of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms. Methods and Results: ...
Activity of sodium trimetaphosphate, associated or not with fluoride, on dual-species biofilms
(2019-07-03)
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), either with fluoride (F) or without fluoride, on dual-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. The 72 h biofilms were treated ...
Interação de Streptococcus mutans e de Candida albicans em biofilme in vitro
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2018-02-26)
O objetivo foi avaliar quais são os mecanismos de Streptococcus mutans e de Candida albicans que contribuem para aumentar a patogenicidade do biofilme misto. Biofilmes mistos e simples das cepas S. mutans UA159 (Sm) e C. ...
Lactobacillus casei reduces the extracellular matrix components of fluconazole-susceptible Candida albicans biofilms
(2021-01-01)
Fluconazole-sensitive (CaS) and -resistant (CaR) C. albicans were grown as single-species and dual-species biofilms with Lactobacillus casei (Lc) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr). Single-species Lc and Lr were also evaluated. ...
Combined Influence of Fluoride and Biofilms on the Biotribocorrosion Behavior of Titanium Used for Dental Applications
(2015-09-01)
Dental implant failures occur mainly due to biofilm infections and mastication micro-movements or load stresses that may induce wear degradation. Dental implants’ microgaps are highly susceptible areas for biofilm formation ...
