Quantitative analysis of adhesion and biofilm formation on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis
Description :
Staphylococcus epidermidis is now well established as a major nosocomial pathogen associated with infections of indwelling medical
devices. The major virulence factor of these organisms is their ability to adhere to devices and form biofilms. However, it has not been established
that adherence and b...

Synergy of farnesol and antibiotics against planktonic versus biofilm cells of Staphylococcus epidermidis
Description :
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause of nosocomial sepsis and catheter-related infections, in which biofilm formation is considered to be one of the main virulence mechanisms. Moreover, their increased resistance to conventional antibiotic therapy enhances the need to develop new th...

Use of newly isolated phages for the control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and ATCC 10145 biofilms
Description :
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a relevant opportunistic pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. that frequently shows low antibiotic susceptibility. One of its virulence factors is associated with the ability to adhere to surfaces and form virulent biofilms. This work describes the isolation and char...

Antimicrobial pressure of ciprofloxacin and gentamicin on biofilm development by an endoscope-isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Description :
This work aims at characterizing endoscope biofilm-isolated (PAI) and 2 reference strain P. aeruginosa (PA) adhesion, biofilm formation and sensitivity 3 to antibiotics. The recovery ability of the biofilm-growing bacteria subjected to 4 intermittent antibiotic pressure [ciprofloxacin (CIP) and gent...

Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis : comparison of biofilm formation in terms of biomass and activity
Description :
Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis are two species
responsible for oral candidiasis, especially in
immunocompromised patients. Microbial infection is
preceded by adherence and biofilm formation. Biofilm
formation represents the most common form of C. albicans
in the oral cavity and is considered t...

Susceptibility of staphylococcus epidermidis planktonic cells and biofilms to the lytic action of staphylococcus bacteriophage K
Description :
Aims: To evaluate differences in biofilm or planktonic bacteria susceptibility to be killed by the polyvalent antistaphylococcus bacteriophage K. Methods and Results: In this study, the ability of phage K to infect and kill several clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis was tested. Strains ...

Description :
The oral cavity can be considered as an aggressive environment to restorative materials
considering that several acidic substances can be retained in the saliva and biofilms as well as
loads from mastication and abrasive particles take place in the wear of oral surfaces. The
objective of this work i...
