It is impossible to determine rigidly a net result of the influence of antibiotics on the interaction between parasite and host cells, as many factors participating in this process are not studied. Adhesion of microorganisms is one of the essential mechanisms of the above interaction. Antibiotics with a different mechanism of action in the subinhibitory concentrations affecting viability of microbes either slightly or nowise have been studied for their effect on adhesion on a model of the intestine section of human embryos and experimental animals. Most of antibiotics influenced differently adhesion of the microorganisms, that also depended on the species attribution of the latter. The accelerated selection of resistance during a successive passage via the suggested adhesion system was observed. The data obtained elucidated certain mechanisms of the effect of antibiotics on the microbial populations at the initial phase of the infectious process and under the primary contamination of mucosa.

Background: The widespread selective pressure of antibiotics in the environment has led to the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the mechanisms by which microbes balance population growth with the enrichment of ARGs remain poorly understood. To address this, we employed microcosm cultivation at different antibiotic (i.

The widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics, for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, has contributed to a global crisis of rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms. This resistance is often associated with elevated mutagenesis induced by the presence of antibiotics. Additionally, subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics can trigger stress responses in bacteria, further exacerbating this problem.

Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne pathogen that causes intestinal illness varying from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening systemic infections. The frequency of outbreaks due to multidrug-resistant Salmonella has been increased in the past few years with increasing numbers of annual deaths. Therefore, new strategies to control the spread of antimicrobial resistance are required.

Introduction: Simvastatin is an antilipidemic drug that has already demonstrated antibacterial activities on oral and non-oral microorganisms. Silver nanoparticles also exhibit antimicrobial properties, particularly for coating implant surfaces. In this study, we evaluated the effects of combining simvastatin with silver nanoparticles on the formation and viability of biofilms consolidated on titanium discs.
