Effective photodynamic inactivation of 26 Escherichia coli strains with different antibiotic susceptibility profiles: a planktonic and biofilm study
(Antibiotics. Vol.9, n.3 (2020), 98, 2020-02)The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is a growing problem and alternative therapies are being sought to effectively address this issue. The aim of this study is to assess a range of Escherichia ... -
In Vitro and In Vivo Antimicrobial Activity of Hypochlorous Acid against Drug-Resistant and Biofilm-Producing Strains
(Microbiology Spectrum 2022, 10(5), 2022-10)The aims of this study were as follows. First, we determined the antimicrobial efficacy of hypochlorous acid (HClO) against bacterial, fungal, and yeast strains growing planktonically and growing in ... -
In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Conjugated with Amikacin and Combined with Hyperthermia against Drug-Resistant and Biofilm-Producing Strains
(Microbiology Spectrum 2023, 11 (3), 2023-06)In view of the current increase and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), there is an urgent need to find new strategies to combat it. This study had two aims. First, we synthesized highly monodispersed ... -
On the mechanism of Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by the combined action of naturally-occurring anthraquinones and blue light
(PLoS ONE. Vol.12, n.7 (2017), e0181517, 2017-07)The photoprocesses involved in the photo-induced Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by two natural anthraquinones (AQs), rubiadin (1) and rubiadin-1-methyl ether (2), were examined. Production of ... -
Plasma-induced nanostructured metallic silver surfaces: study of bacteriophobic effect to avoid bacterial adhesion on medical devices
(Heliyon, 2022, 8(10), e10842, 2022-10)Biofilm formation in medical devices represents one of the major problems for the healthcare system, especially those that occur on implantable silicone-based devices. To provide a general solution to ...
