The antimicrobial compound produced by Bacillus paralicheniformis UBBLi30 showed UV spectra absorption at 208 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) revealed characteristic bands for aliphatic chain related to hydrophobic amino acids (l-isoleucine/l-leucine) (3068, 2965 and 2871 cm−1) and peptide bonds (1538, 1667 and 3312 cm−1). The proton nuclear ...

AbstractHere, we demonstrate a non-contact technique for electrochemical evaluation of biofilms on surfaces in relation to corrosion. Electrochemical impedance spectrometry was employed, incorporating flat patterned electrodes positioned over the surfaces of aluminum and glass with and without biofilms. Signal communication from the working electro...

Burkholderia pyrrocinia JK-SH007 is an important biocontrol strain for the prevention and treatment of poplar canker disease. Its powerful biocontrol function is inseparable from its successful colonization of poplar trees. Bacterial biofilms can ensure the long-term colonization of a host. To explore the mechanism of action of biofilms in the bioc...

BackgroundInvasive aspergillosis is a fungal infection that occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients. It is responsible for a high degree of mortality and is invariably unresponsive to conventional antifungal treatments. Histone deacetylase inhibitors can affect the cell cycle, apoptosis and differentiation. The histone deacetylase inhibitor vor...

Smokers have increased denture stomatitis caused primarily by Candida albicans. The primary aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of a wide range of nicotine and cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) concentrations on biofilm formation and metabolic activity of C. albicans on acrylic denture material. C. albicans (ATCC strain 10231) was used. ...

Over the last couple of decades, with the crisis of new antimicrobial arsenal, multidrug-resistant clinical pathogens have been observed extensively. In clinical and medical settings, these persistent pathogens predominantly grow as complex heterogeneous structures enmeshed in a self-produced exopolysaccharide matrix, termed as biofilms. Since biof...

BackgroundStaphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that is a common cause of nosocomial infections and infections on indwelling medical devices, mainly due to its ability to shift between the planktonic and the biofilm/sessile lifestyle. Biofilm infections present a serious problem in human medicine as they often lead to bacterial persistence and ...

One of a number of critical roles played by NO· as a chemical weapon (generated by the immune system) is to neutralize pathogens. However, the virulence of pathogens depends on the production activity of reductants to detoxify NO·. Broad reactivity of NO· makes it complicated to predict the fate of NO· inside bacteria and its effects on the treatme...

Today, the treatment of bacterial infections is a major challenge, due to growing rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria, complication of treatment and increased healthcare costs. Moreover, new treatments for bacterial infections are limited. Oligonucleotide aptamers are single stranded DNAs or RNAs with target-selective high-affinity feature, which ...
