Background: SCH-79797 was recently shown to be a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent with a dual-bactericidal mechanism. However, its anti-biofilm effect remains unknown.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of SCH-79797 on the biofilm formation of the cariogenic .
Methods And Results: Crystal violet staining, colony forming units count and MTT assays (for cell metabolic activity) revealed that biofilm formation was significantly suppressed. In addition, virulence factors, including extracellular polysaccharides (investigated by bacterial/exopolysaccharide staining and the anthrone method) and acid production (investigated by lactic acid and supernatant pH detection) were also inhibited significantly. Moreover, the biofilm inhibitory effect of SCH-79797 was mediated through its repression of bacterial growth and not by a bactericidal effect, which was verified by growth curve and bacterial live/ dead staining, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR results disclosed that SCH-79797 affected bacterial acid production and tolerance, polysaccharide synthesis and remodeling, biofilm formation and quorum sensing-related gene expression. In addition, SCH-79797 showed good biocompatibility as determined by cytotoxicity assays.
Conclusion: SCH-79797 had an anti-biofilm effect and showed application prospects in the control of dental caries.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus pose a significant threat in healthcare, demanding urgent therapeutic solutions. Combining bacteriophages with conventional antibiotics, an innovative approach termed phage-antibiotic synergy, presents a promising treatment avenue. However, to enable new treatment strategies, there is a pressing need for methods to assess their efficacy reliably and rapidly.

Common adhesives for nonstructural applications are manufactured using petrochemicals and synthetic solvents. These adhesives are associated with environmental and health concerns because of their release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biopolymer adhesives are an attractive alternative because of lower VOC emissions, but their strength is often insufficient.

Infections caused by fungal pathogens are a global health problem, and have created an urgent need for new antimicrobial strategies. This report details the synthesis of lipidated 2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxazolone (VDM) oligomers an optimized Cu(0)-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) approach. Cholesterol-Br was used as an initiator to synthesize a library of oligo-VDM (degree of polymerisation = 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25), with an α-terminal cholesterol group.
