BackgroundAfter the golden age of antibiotic discovery, bacterial infections still represent a major challenge for public health worldwide. The biofilm mode of growth is mostly responsible for chronic infections that current therapeutics fail to cure and it is well-established that novel strategies must be investigated. Particulate drug delivery sy...

Background Foodborne illness caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( V. parahaemolyticus ) is generally associated with the consumption of seafood. Fish and other seafood can be contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus , natural inhabitants of the marine, estuarine, and freshwater environment. In this study, the antibacterial activities of benzyl isothioc...

Background Treatment of bacterial biofilms are difficult and in many cases, expensive. Bacterial biofilms are naturally more resilient to antimicrobial agents than their free-living planktonic counterparts, rendering the community growth harder to control. The present work described the risks of long-term use of an important alternative antimicrobi...

Background Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), the second leading cause of genital infection in women of reproductive age, is caused by yeasts of the genus Candida. Treatment is usually empirical and performed with azoles, which have shown increasing ineffectiveness due to resistance from these species. This therapeutic challenge has led to the search ...

Využití optických vlastností geneticky modifikovaného organismu (GMO) Pseudomonas putida TVA8, který je schopen produkovat bioluminiscenci (λ≈500nm) ve styku s benzenem, toluenem, etylbenzenem a xyleny, je jedním z možných principů optických biosenzorů detekujících tyto nebezpečné látky a další analyty. S využitím fyzikálně-chemických modelů buněčn...

In the current situation of COVID-19 pandemic, the role of surfaces in transmitting pathogens is clearer than ever. Herein, we report an organo-soluble, quaternary antimicrobial paint (QAP) based on polyethyleneimine (PEI) which was coated on a wide range of surfaces such as polyvinylchloride (PVC), nylon, rubber, aluminum. The coating completely k...

Proteases are ubiquitous enzymes, having significant physiological roles in both synthesis and degradation. The use of microbial proteases in food fermentation is an age-old process, which is today being successfully employed in other industries with the advent of ‘omics’ era and innovations in genetic and protein engineering approaches. Proteases ...

Appropriated denture hygiene is a predictive factor for longevity of rehabilitation treatment and maintenance of the oral mucosal health. Although, disinfectant solutions are commonly used as denture cleansers, the impact of these solutions on acrylic resin-based dentures remain unclear. Objective To evaluate, in vitro , the antibiofilm activity of...

Objective this study evaluated the mineral and microbiological response of biofilms originating from different types of saliva inoculum with distinct levels of caries activity. Methodology the biofilms grown over enamel specimens originated from saliva collected from a single donor or five donors with two distinct levels of caries activity (caries-...

Both physiological and evolutionary criteria of biological individuality are underpinned by the idea that an individual is a functionally integrated whole. However, a precise account of functional integration has not been provided so far, and current notions are not developed in the details, especially in the case of composite systems. To address t...
