conclusions adsorption of antibodies to bap might interfere with bacterial adhesion to the surface. these antibodies were found to be potent biofilm inhibitors. results injection of bap subunit resulted in high titers of antibody. immunized mice serum had significant (p< 0.001) inhibitory effect on biofilm formation. in vitro inhibition of biofilm formation by a. baumannii was studied at 1:50 c...

background: acinetobacter baumannii is commonly resistant to nearly all antibiotics due to presence of antibiotic resistance genes and biofilm formation. in this study we determined the presence of certain antibiotic-resistance genes associated with biofilm production and the influence of low iron concentration on expression of the biofilm-associated protein gene (bap) in development of biofilm...

P. aeruginosa has been mentioned as the major causative agents of nosocomial infections. Pseudomonas infections are often serious and show different resistance to treatment due to distribution of antimicrobial resistance. Meanwhile, some strains are also able to form biofilm during contamination, which help bacteria to be even more persisyant to yreatment. We examined the antibiotic resistance ...

conclusions the results of this study suggest that e. hebecarpa extracts can be used to inhibit the planktonic and biofilm forms of these selected bacteria. objectives in an effort to combat these industrial and medical bacterial biofilm problems, our study aims to determine the antimicrobial effect of euphorbia hebecarpa. materials and methods the inhibition efficiency of alcoholic extracts on...

background and purpose: in people wearing dentures, the growth of various candida species under the prosthesis leads to the formation of biofilm, which can play the role of a reservoir for candida and other kinds of microbes. since nano-chitosan particles can cause lasting antimicrobial activity, a more recent approach that utilizes acrylic resins with nano-chitosan particles is proposed. there...

conclusions the bacterial isolates exhibited strong biofilm formation potential, while the extracts of acacia arabica significantly inhibited biofilm formation among the isolates and, therefore, could be executed in the development of cost-effective biofilm inhibitor medicines. results pseudomonas aeruginosa (kc417303-05), staphylococcus hemolyticus (kc417306), and staphylococcus hominis (kc417...

background and objectives: biofilms are structural communities of bacterial cells enshrined in a self produced polymeric matrix. the studies on biofilm formation of pasteurella multocida have become imperative since it is a respiratory pathogen and its biofilm mode could possibly be one of its virulence factors for survival inside a host. the present study describes a biofilm assay for p. multo...

biofilm formation in bacteria is an important survival strategy. biofilm of probiotic bacillus subtilis consist of long chains of cells that are covered by a polymeric matrix of exopolysaccharides. this bacterium is known as one of the most effective biocontrol agents against plant pathogens and has a high ability in biofilm formation. this study was aimed to investigate the effect of some envi...

wound infections are a common cause of staphylococcal infections. an ability of s.aureus is to adhere and form biofilm on host surfaces. biofilm is an exopolysaccharide, a slime matrix around multiple layers of cells and is mediated by expression of the icaadbc operon. the present study evaluated the biofilm forming capacity and the presence of icaad gene among s.aureus isolated from wound infe...
