N‐Acetylcysteine (NAC), a cysteine prodrug and glutathione (GSH) precursor, has been
used for several decades in clinical therapeutic practices as a mucolytic agent and for the …

Objectives In airway infections, biofilm formation has been demonstrated to be responsible
for both acute and chronic events, and constitutes a genuine challenge in clinical practice …

The biocidal properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) prepared with the use of biologically
active compounds seem to be especially significant for biological and medical application …

In natural environments, microorganisms form microbial aggregates called biofilms able to
adhere to a multitude of different surfaces. Yeasts make no exception to this rule, being able …

Introduction Polymicrobial biofilms have a significant impact on pathogenesis of infectious
microorganisms. Many human diseases are affected by colonization of multi-species …

Candida albicans is a microbial fungus that exists as a commensal member of the human
microbiome and an opportunistic pathogen. Biofilm formation by this fungal pathogen occurs …

Background Endotracheal tubes provide an abiotic surface on which bacteria and fungi form
biofilms, and the release of endotoxins and planktonic organisms can cause damaging …

Background To compare the adhesion properties and biofilm‐forming capabilities of 27
Candida isolates obtained from catheter‐related candidemia patients and to evaluate the …

Therapies targeted to fungal biofilms, mainly against the matrix, and therapies that do not
induce microbial resistance are relevant. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a mucolytic agent, has …

Purpose. In this study, we applied various assays to find new activities of 1, 4-
naphthoquinone derivatives for potential anti-Candida albicans applications. Methodology …
