Swarming Aqua Sperm Micromotors for Active Bacterial Biofilms Removal in Confined Spaces.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Microscale self-propelled robots show great promise in the biomedical field and are the focus of many researchers. These tiny devices, which move and navigate by themselves, are typically based on inorganic microstructures that are not biodegradable ...

Antibiofilm Activity of α-Amylase from Bacillus subtilis and Prediction of the Optimized Conditions for Biofilm Removal by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

Applied biochemistry and biotechnology
α-amylase is known to have antibiofilm activity against biofilms of both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Partially purified α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis was found to have inhibit biofilm formed by P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. T...

Integrated meta-analysis and machine learning approach identifies acyl-CoA thioesterase with other novel genes responsible for biofilm development in Staphylococcus aureus.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases
Biofilm forming Staphylococcus aureus is a major threat to the health-care industry. It is important to understand the differences between planktonic and biofilm growth forms in the pathogen since conventional treatments targeting the planktonic form...

Combined effects of volume ratio and nitrate recycling ratio on nutrient removal, sludge characteristic and microbial evolution for DPR optimization.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
The optimization of volume ratio (V/V/V) and nitrate recycling ratio (R) in a two-sludge denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) process of Anaerobic Anoxic Oxic-Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (A/O-MBBR) was investigated. The results showed that prolonged ...

Weissella cibaria EIR/P2-derived exopolysaccharide: A novel alternative to conventional biomaterials targeting periodontal regeneration.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Healing and regeneration of periodontium are considered as a complex physiological process. Therefore, treatments need to be addressed with highly effective components modulating the multiple pathways. In this study, exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced ...

Molib: A machine learning based classification tool for the prediction of biofilm inhibitory molecules.

Genomics
Identification of biofilm inhibitory small molecules appears promising for therapeutic intervention against biofilm-forming bacteria. However, the experimental identification of such molecules is a time-consuming task, and thus, the computational app...

Essential oils against bacterial isolates from cystic fibrosis patients by means of antimicrobial and unsupervised machine learning approaches.

Scientific reports
Recurrent and chronic respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients result in progressive lung damage and represent the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the earliest bacteria in CF ...

Application of artificial neural networks to describe the combined effect of pH, time, NaCl and ethanol concentrations on the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus.

Microbial pathogenesis
Biofilms are organized communities, adherent to the surface and resistant to adverse environmental and antimicrobial agents. So, its control is very important. Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen with the biofilm-forming ability that c...

Epigallocatechin gallate has antibacterial and antibiofilm activity in methicillin resistant and susceptible of different lineages in non-cytotoxic concentrations.

Natural product research
is an opportunistic agent that can cause a variety of infections, both hospital and community-acquired. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a flavonoid present in the leaves of , has different biological activities, including antimicrobial potential. H...
