  2. Phage therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

    The different steps at which phages may disrupt biofilm formation. The biofilm surrounding the bacteria would inhibit the ability of antibiotics to reach bacteria, but may have less impact on the phages. Phage therapy is being used to great effect in the treatment of biofilm infections, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

  3. Biofilm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm

    Biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, along with other bacteria, is found in 90% of chronic wound infections, which leads to poor healing and high cost of treatment estimated at more than US$25 billion every year in the United States. [113]

  4. Staphylococcus epidermidis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_epidermidis

    S. epidermidis causes biofilms to grow on plastic devices placed within the body. [19] This occurs most commonly on intravenous catheters and on medical prostheses. [20] Infection can also occur in dialysis patients or anyone with an implanted plastic device that may have been contaminated.

  5. Biofilm prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm_prevention

    The C2DA inhibit methicillin resistant staphylococcus biofilm, but don't eliminate it. The mechanism of the biofilm inhibition by these molecules is still unknown. C2D is a medium of fatty acid chain that effect on staphylococcus aureus biofilm and dispersion of these biofilm. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main source for these molecules. [15]

  6. Nitroxoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroxoline

    Nitroxoline is an antibiotic [1] that has been in use in Europe for about fifty years, and has proven to be very effective at combating biofilm infections. Nitroxoline was shown to cause a decrease in the biofilm density of P. aeruginosa infections, which would allow access to the infection by the immune system in vivo. [2]

  7. Persister cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persister_cells

    Persister cells are highly enriched in biofilms, and this makes biofilm-related diseases difficult to treat. Examples are chronic infections of implanted medical devices such as catheters and artificial joints, urinary tract infections, middle ear infections and fatal lung disease. [13]

  9. Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa

    P. aeruginosa growth within the human body can be asymptomatic until the bacteria form a biofilm, which overwhelms the immune system. These biofilms are found in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia, and can prove fatal.
