Antibiotic therapy failure is often caused by the presence of persister cells, which are
metabolically-dormant bacteria capable of surviving exposure to antimicrobials. Under …

Multifactorial antibacterial action is an important feature of honey; however, its bactericidal
efficacy against biofilm-embedded bacteria is limited. The aim of this study was to …

The increased resistance of pathogenic bacteria to multiple antimicrobial agents is
becoming a significant public health threat. For many pathogenic bacteria there are already …

Antioxidant and antibacterial edible films based on carboxymethyl xylan with licorice
essential oil incorporated were successfully developed. The films were prepared by the …

Antibiotic resistant bacterial communities persist in many types of wounds, chronic wounds
in particular, in the form of biofilms. Biofilm formation is a major cause of severe infections …

Background: Use of bacteriophages as antibiofilm agents to tackle multidrug-resistant
bacteria has gained importance in recent years. Materials and Methods: In this study, biofilm …

Bacteria survive on any surface through the generation of biofilms that provide a protective
environment to grow as well as making them drug resistant. Extracellular polymeric matrix is …

Enterobacter cloacae is a troublesome pathogen causing refractory infections of the lower
respiratory tract, urethra and abdominal cavity, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and neonatal …

Honey has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against different microorganisms, but
its effects on oral biofilms are largely unknown. In this review, we analyzed the currently …

The resurgence of research into phage biology and therapy is, in part, due to the increasing
need for novel agents to treat multidrug-resistant infections. Despite a long clinical history in …
