Oral diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal disease are directly linked with the
ability of bacteria to form biofilm. The development of dental caries involves acidogenic and …

The formation of surface-attached cellular agglomerates, the so-called biofilms, contributes
significantly to bacterial resistance to antibiotics and innate host defenses. Bacterial biofilms …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short cationic host-defense molecules that provide the
early stage of protection against invading microbes. They also have important modulatory …

Antibiotic resistance has prompted the search for new agents that can inhibit bacterial
growth. We recently reported on the antibiofilm activities of nanosized ZnO and CuO …

Biofilms are communities of microorganism that are form on solid or fluid interfaces and are
designed to protect the individual cells, such as bacteria, from the environment. The mass is …

Dental caries form through a complex interaction over time among dental plaque,
fermentable carbohydrate, and host factors (including teeth and saliva). As a key factor …

Microbes are prevalent in the root canals of necrotic teeth, and they are the cause of primary
and post-treatment apical periodontitis. Bacteria can dwell within the infected root canal …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate an in vitro dynamic bioreactor model by
evaluating the antimicrobial effect of clinically relevant amoxicillin doses on polymicrobial …

Human oral biofilms are multispecies microbial communities that exhibit high resistance to
antimicrobial agents. Dental plaque gives rise to highly prevalent and costly biofilm-related …

Background Chronic recurrent sinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease of the facial
sinuses and nasal passages that is defined as lasting longer than 12 weeks or occurring …
