Globally, bacteria are well-known microorganisms for bacterial biofilm infection. Bacterial biofilm has generated antibiotic resistance and led the persistent infection. But new complications arise with a biofilm that bacterial biofilm shows the new association with oncogenesis. Some bacteria have a carcinogenic nature at the chronic infection stage like Salmonella Typhi, Helicobacter pylori. Thus, biofilm has a significant role in oncogenesis. Few pieces of evidence also support that the bacterial biofilm has a potential role to develop oncogenesis in the human body. Bacterial biofilm is responsible to induce chronic inflammation and is the main basis for the oncogenesis process. But bacterial biofilm association with the oncogenesis mechanism is unknown yet. This article focuses on the function of bacterial biofilm in tumor formation and the mechanism that encourages the oncogenesis and provide a possible and interesting hypothesis involved in between biofilm and host oncogenesis progression. The discussed relationship will provide a sound direction in the field of oncology and concept may give an informative direction in diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial biofilm behavior could be significantly linked with cancer cell formation. This article attracts the attention of researchers of the field because biofilm mediated oncogenesis further indicate towards an important issue in human health.

Copper(II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are used in different industries and agriculture, thus leading to their release to the environment, which raises concerns about their ecotoxicity and biosafety. The main toxicity mechanism of nanometals is oxidative stress as a result of the formation of reactive oxygen species caused by metal ions released from nanoparticles. Bacterial biofilms are more resistant to physical and chemical factors than are planktonic cells due to the extracellular polymeric matrix (EPM), which performs a protective function.

Antibiotic resistance has become a critical health crisis globally. Traditional strategies using antibiotics can lead to drug-resistance, while inorganic antimicrobial agents can cause severe systemic toxicity. Here, we have developed a dual-antibiotic hydrogel delivery system (PDA-Ag@Levo/CMCS), which can achieve controlled release of clinical antibiotics levofloxacin (Levo) and classic nanoscale antibiotic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), effectively eliminating drug-resistant .

In this study, we investigated the synergistic potential of bacteriophage vB_SauM-515A1 ( family) and the first-line antibiotic linezolid against the methicillin-resistant strain SA0413Rev. A checkerboard assay revealed a significant synergistic effect against planktonic cells (FIC = 0.

In our prior research, polymer nanoparticles (NPs) containing tobramycin displayed robust antibacterial efficacy against biofilm-embedded () and (. ) cells, critical pathogens in cystic fibrosis. In the current study, we investigated the deposition of a nanoparticulate carrier composed of poly(d,l-lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(ethylene glycol)--PLGA (PEG-PLGA) that was either covalently bonded with cyanine-5-amine (Cy5) or noncovalently bound with freely embedded cationic rhodamine B (RhB), which served as a drug surrogate.

Background Chronic periodontitis is primarily caused by various bacterial species present in the plaque biofilm, which trigger a host inflammatory response. This leads to the abnormal release of inflammatory mediators such as proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α), which are free radicals that cause alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. (bitter gourd) is a widely used medicinal plant for the treatment of numerous diseases such as skin infections, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and carcinomas for several decades.
