Biofilms are considered as the most important developmental characteristics in ocular
infections. Biofilm eradication is a major challenge today to overcome the incidence of drug …

Purpose. The tear cationic protein lactoferrin increases the activity of various antimicrobial
agents against suspended bacterial cultures including Staphylococcus epidermidis, the …

Purpose.: To investigate the biofilm-forming capacity of Fusarium solani, Cladosporium
sphaerospermum, and Acremonium implicatum, and the activities of antifungal agents …

Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine whether a synergistic effect could
be obtained in vitro between bovine lactoferricin (B-LFcin) and antibiotics against …

Microbial biofilms play an essential role in several infectious diseases and are defined as
extensive communities of sessile organisms irreversibly associated with a surface, encased …

Fungal keratitis is commonly caused by Fusarium species and less commonly by Candida
species. Recent outbreaks of Fusarium keratitis were associated with contact lens wear and …

Purpose. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of lens wear on the formation of soft
contact lens-associated Fusarium biofilms and to determine the efficacy of marketed contact …

A biofilm is a functional consortium of microorganisms organised within an extensive
exopolymer matrix. Organisms within a biofilm are difficult to eradicate by conventional …

Fusarium solani has drawn phytopathogenic, biotechnological, and medical interest. In
humans, it is associated with localized infections, such as onychomycosis and …

Purpose.: Fusarium is a major cause of microbial keratitis, and its ability to form biofilms was
suggested as a contributing factor in recent outbreaks. We investigated the ability of …
