1. Effect of Propolis on Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Formation
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the susceptibility of S. mutans during growth as a biofilm in the presence of different concentrations of propolis. Material and Methods: Three different concentrations of ethanolic extract of propolis (10%, 5%, and 2.5%) were used to evaluate its potential to attenuate the biofilm formation of S. mutans (ATCC 25175) on micr

2. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Eugenol-Derived 1,2,3- Triazoles as Antimyco bacterial Agents
Eugenol has diverse biological properties including antimycobacterial activity, and the triazole ring is an important heterocycle in antimycobacterial compounds. Therefore, this research aimed to synthesize novel eugenol-derived 1,2,3-triazole as antimycobacterial agents with interesting cytotoxic profile and pharmacological assets. Sixteen compounds were ob

3. Sanitizing cinnamaldehyde solutions against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms formed on stainless steel surfaces
Resumo Pseudomonas aeruginosa é um patógeno oportunista capaz de formar biofilmes de grande relevância para a microbiologia médica e para a indústria de alimentos. Os constituintes do óleo essencial (OE) têm sido pesquisados como novas alternativas para o controle do biofilme. Neste estudo, o cinamaldeído mostrou-se eficaz como OE contra células pla

4. Antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of cinnamon essential oil and eugenol
RESUMO: Os biofilmes são responsáveis pela maior parte da interferência causada pelos micro-organismos no processamento de alimentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade anti-biofilme do óleo essencial de canela (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) e do composto majoritário eugenol. As concentrações utilizadas de óleo essencial foram de 0,0% (controle

5. What are the advantages of living in a community? A microbial biofilm perspective!
Biofilm formation is the preferred mode of growth lifestyle for many microorganisms, including bacterial and fungal human pathogens. Biofilm is a strong and dynamic structure that confers a broad range of advantages to its members, such as adhesion/cohesion capabilities, mechanical properties, nutritional sources, metabolite exchange platform, cellular commu

6. Efficacy of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms
Abstract Objective Relacin is a synthetic molecule that targets RelA, an essential protein in a conserved bacterial stress response system. It was shown to inhibit bacterial growth. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms and to evaluate the cyto

7. Antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of carvacrol against Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium
ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of carvacrol against Salmonella Typhimurium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined and the time-kill curve and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed to evaluate antibacterial activity. Antibiofilm activ

8. Removal and killing of multispecies endodontic biofilms by N-acetylcysteine
ABSTRACT Removal of bacterial biofilm from the root canal system is essential for the management of endodontic disease. Here we evaluated the antibacterial effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant and mucolytic agent, against mature multispecies endodontic biofilms consisting of Actinomyces naeslundii, Lactobacillus salivarius, Streptococcus mu

9. An investigation of virulence factors of Legionella pneumophila environmental isolates
ABSTRACT Nine Legionella pneumophila strains isolated from cooling towers and a standard strain (L. pneumophila serogroup 1, ATCC 33152, Philadelphia 1) were analyzed and compared in terms of motility, flagella structure, ability to form biofilms, enzymatic activities (hemolysin, nucleases, protease, phospholipase A, phospholipase C, acid phosphatase, alkali

10. Effect of γ-lactones and γ-lactams compounds on Streptococcus mutans biofilms
Abstract Considering oral diseases, antibiofilm compounds can decrease the accumulation of pathogenic species such as Streptococcus mutans at micro-areas of teeth, dental restorations or implant-supported prostheses. Objective To assess the effect of thirteen different novel lactam-based compounds on the inhibition of S. mutans biofilm formation. Material

11. Demetallization of Enterococcus faecalis biofilm: a preliminary study
Abstract Objectives To determine the concentration of calcium, iron, manganese and zinc ions after the application of chelator to Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. Material and Methods Fifty bovine maxillary central incisors were prepared and inoculated with E. faecalis for 60 days. The following were used as irrigation solutions: 17% EDTA (pH 3, 7 and 10)

12. Evaluation antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the antimicrobial peptide P34 against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis
ABSTRACT The adhesion ability of bacteria to abiotic surfaces has important implications in food industries, because these organisms can survive for long periods through the biofilm formation. They can be transferred from one place to another in the industry causing contamination of the food processing environment. In this study, the antibacterial and antibi
