In order to investigate the effects of mouthwashes on oral biofilms with probiotics, we compared in biofilms the susceptibility to mouthwashes of probiotic GG (LGG) and oral pathogens , , and . We also evaluated these pathogens' susceptibility to the mouthwashes and their recovery after mouthwash-rinsing in biofilms with/without LGG. First, 1-day-/3-day-old LGG-integrated multi-species biofilms were exposed for 1 min to mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine, essential oils, or amine fluoride/stannous fluoride. Cells were plate-counted and relative survival rates (RSRs) of LGG and pathogens calculated. Second, 1-day-/3-day-old multispecies biofilms with and without LGG were exposed for 1 min to mouthwashes; cells were plate-counted and the pathogens' RSRs were calculated. Third, 1-day-old biofilms were treated for 1 min with mouthwashes. Cells were plate-counted immediately and after 2-day cultivation. Recovery rates of pathogens were calculated and compared between biofilms with/without LGG. Live/Dead staining served for structural analyses. Our results showed that RSRs of LGG were insignificantly smaller than those of pathogens in both 1-day and 3-day biofilms. No significant differences appeared in pathogens' RSRs and recovery rates after treatment between biofilms with/without LGG. To conclude, biofilm LGG was susceptible to the mouthwashes; but biofilm LGG altered neither the mouthwash effects on oral pathogens nor affected their recovery.

Article Synopsis
- Terrestrial and aquatic environments contaminated with animal urine can spread Leptospira, which causes leptospirosis in both humans and animals, but the factors influencing its growth and virulence are not fully understood.
- A new strain of Leptospira interrogans, named KeTo, was isolated from sewage in India and can oxidize various organic acids, demonstrating susceptibility to ethyl acetoacetate that inhibits its growth and biofilm formation.
- Genetic analysis revealed that KeTo shares a high similarity to pathogenic strains and has specific genes for utilizing acetoacetate, indicating its metabolic capabilities and the need for further research on its growth inhibition.
Critical resistance to carbapenem and aminoglycosides in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: spread of bla/16S methylase armA harboring isolates with intrinsic resistance mechanisms in Kerman, Iran.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is one of the main Gram-negative bacterium causes of infections in hospital settings, and the spread of them is a significant challenge to public health.
Methods: A total of 30 non-duplicate isolates of CRPA were collected. Antibacterial susceptibility of isolates to antibiotic agents, AmpC β-lactamase production, and biofilm formation were determined.
Evaluation of antibiofilm agents for treatment of cystic fibrosis-related chronic rhinosinusitis.

Treatment of cystic fibrosis-related chronic rhinosinusitis should target sinonasal biofilms. NaHCO salts with/without xylitol have limited antibiofilm properties, whereas rhDNAse has not. Phage effectivity varies and depends on the phage and the combination with antibiotics.

Root caries is a subtype of dental caries that predominantly impacts older adults. The occurrence and progression of root caries are associated with the homeostasis of dental plaque biofilm, and microbial synergistic and antagonistic interactions in the biofilm play a significant role in maintaining the oral microecological balance. The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of Veillonella parvula in the microbial interactions and the pathogenesis of root caries.

: As the anti-biofilm pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) properties of antibiotics are not well-defined, we have evaluated the PK/PD indices for different regimens of ceftazidime (CAZ; with/without colistin) against biofilm. : We have used the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Biofilm Reactor with two susceptible (PAO1 and HUB-PAS) and one resistant (HUB-XDR) strains of . The regimens were CAZ monotherapies (mimicking a human dose of 2 g/8 h, CAZ-IB; 6 g/daily as continuous infusion at 50 mg/L, CAZ-CI; and 9 g/daily at 70 mg/L, CAZ-CI) and CAZ-colistin combinations.
