Factors predictive of inappropriateness in requests for parenteral antimicrobials for therapeutic purposes: A study in a small teaching hospital in Brazil
(Informa Healthcare, 2011-07-01)
Background: The identification of patterns of inappropriate antimicrobial prescriptions in hospitals contributes to the improvement of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study ...
Combinatorial synthesis and directed evolution applied to the production of alpha-helix forming antimicrobial peptides analogues
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2006-12-01)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of innate immune systems found in different groups of organisms, including microorganisms, plants, insects, amphibians and humans. These peptides exhibit several structural ...
Antimicrobial peptides as a feed additive alternative to animal production, food safety and public health implications: An overview
(2021-01-01)
In the last few years, feed additives have been used in animal nutrition to improve nutrient utilization, health parameters and animal performance. However, the use of antibiotics as feed additives has allowed the occurrence ...
Chitosan enhances the antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation mediated by Photoditazine® against Streptococcus mutans
(2020-12-01)
Chitosan (CS), a biopolymer with intrinsic antimicrobial activity, can increase antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of CS to potentiate the efficacy of ...
The antimicrobial activity of free and immobilized poly (diallyldimethylammonium) chloride in nanoparticles of poly (methylmethacrylate)
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Abstract
Background
Several cationic polymers exhibit a useful antimicrobial property, however the structure–activity relationship still requires a more complete investigation. ...
Chitin nanowhiskers as alternative antimicrobial controlled release carriers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01)
Antimicrobial finishings protect users from pathogenic and odor-generating microorganisms, which are of medical and hygiene concerns. Controlled release is a useful approach to obtain antimicrobial finishings in several ...
The growing importance of materials that prevent microbial adhesion: antimicrobial effect of medical devices containing silver
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-08-01)
Research has clarified the properties required for polymers that resist bacterial colonisation for use in medical devices. The increase in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has prompted interest in the use of silver as ...
Biofilms of Candida albicans and Streptococcus sanguinis and their susceptibility to antimicrobial effects of photodynamic inactivation
(2018-12-01)
This study evaluated the effects of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) on single and multi-species biofilms, compounds by Candida albicans and Streptococcus sanguinis. Biofilms were formed, on microplate of 96 wells, by ...
Synergism of crude extracts and essential oils from medicinal plants with antimicrobial drugs
(2013)
The emergence of resistant strains to conventional antimicrobial drugs has been constant as well as research aimed new alternatives of antibacterial agents. Therefore, considering that natural products have been an important ...
