For many years various tetrazolium salts and their formazan products have been employed
in histochemistry and for assessing cell viability. For the latter application, the most widely …

Cell viability is defined as the number of healthy cells in a sample and proliferation of cells is
a vital indicator for understanding the mechanisms in action of certain genes, proteins and …

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in researching and developing new
antimicrobial agents from various sources to combat microbial resistance. Therefore, a …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and biological
properties of AH Plus Bioceramic (AHPB; Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC) in comparison to …

Determination of cell viability is the most commonly used method for assessing the impact of
various types of stressors in toxicity research and in industrial microbiology studies. Viability …

Tetrazolium salts have become some of the most widely used tools in cell biology for
measuring the metabolic activity of cells ranging from mammalian to microbial origin. With …

Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical
problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment …

The incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly over the past decades. Very
often these infections are associated with biofilm formation on implanted biomaterials and/or …

In the present study six assays for the quantification of biofilms formed in 96-well microtiter
plates were optimised and evaluated: the crystal violet (CV) assay, the Syto9 assay, the …

Like other microorganisms, free-living Candida albicans is mainly present in a three-
dimensional multicellular structure, which is called a biofilm, rather than in a planktonic form …
