Biofilm-related infections play a significant role in the development and persistence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. () frequently causes biofilm-related infections associated with ventilator tubing. Glucosamine gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) may exhibit antibiofilm properties; however, more studies, including combinatorial therapy with antibiotics, are needed to explore their potential applications in clinical settings.

Pantai Teluk Likas in Sabah, Malaysia is one of the most visited beaches where tourism, recreational, and fisheries activities are high in this area. Hence, the area suffers from severe pollution, particularly from plastics.

- * Researchers used both in vitro testing and computational methods to see how small molecules like L-tartaric acid and D-sorbitol interact with the active site of PMM/PGM.
- * Results indicated that these compounds could significantly inhibit biofilm formation, with up to 95.87% effectiveness, and visuals showed treated biofilms were less dense than untreated ones.
Background And Aim: is the most prevalent human fungal pathogen. In biofilms, becomes more resistant to antifungal agents because of the production of an extracellular matrix (ECM) that protects the yeast cells. This study aimed to determine the effects of hydrolase enzymes and the Bgl2 ligand on monomicrobial and polymicrobial biofilms.

Methods: Fifteen hips of 14 patients with catastrophic failure and metallosis in hip arthroplasties were evaluated. They were followed for at least 4.
