Biofilms, the communities of surface-attached bacteria embedded into extracellular matrix,
are ubiquitous microbial consortia securing the effective resistance of constituent cells to …

Fluorescent staining is a common tool for both quantitative and qualitative assessment of pro-
and eukaryotic cells sub-population fractions by using microscopy and flow cytometry. …

Biofouling is among the key factors slowing down healing of acute and chronic wounds. Here
we report both anti-biofilm and wound-healing properties of the chitosan-immobilized Ficin…

Chitosan, the product of chitin deacetylation, is an excellent candidate for enzyme immobilization
purposes. Here we demonstrate that papain, an endolytic cysteine protease (EC: 3.4.…

The gram-positive opportunistic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most
common causatives of a variety of diseases including skin and skin structure infection or …

Gram-positive bacteria can cause various infections including hospital-acquired infections.
While in the biofilm, the resistance of bacteria to both antibiotics and the human immune …

In mixed infections, the bacterial susceptibility differs significantly compared to monocultures
of bacteria, and generally the concentrations of antibiotics required for the treatment …

A diverse series of 43 novel “soft antimicrobials” based on quaternary ammonium pyridoxine
derivatives which include six-membered acetals and ketals of pyridoxine bound via …

This article describes the design and biological properties of a BODIPY FL-labeled
monoterpenoid BF 2 -meso-(4-((1″R)-6″,6″-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2″-ene-2″)yl-…

Opportunistic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis often form
rigid biofilms on tissues and inorganic surfaces. In the biofilm bacterial cells are embedded in …
