Biofilm formation plays a significant role in antibiotic resistance, necessitating the search for alternative therapies against biofilm-associated infections. This study demonstrates that 20 μg/mL tryptanthrin can hinder biofilm formation above 50% in various strains. Tryptanthrin impacts various stages of biofilm formation, including the inhibition of surface motility and eDNA release in , as well as an increase in its sensitivity to H0. RT-qPCR analysis reveals that tryptanthrin significantly decreases the expression of the following genes: abaI (19.07%), abaR (33.47%), bfmR (43.41%), csuA/B (64.16%), csuE (50.20%), ompA (67.93%), and katE (72.53%), which are related to biofilm formation and quorum sensing. Furthermore, tryptanthrin is relatively safe and can reduce the virulence of in a infection model. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential of tryptanthrin in controlling biofilm formation and virulence of by disrupting different stages of biofilm formation and intercellular signaling communication.

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in biofilms, driven by mechanisms like oxidative stress, is a major challenge. This study investigates whether antioxidants (AOs) such as N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Edaravone (ED) can reduce AMR in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin (CIP). In vitro experimental evolution studies were conducted using flow cells and glass beads biofilm models.

is one of the opportunistic pathogens that may cause serious health problems and can produce several virulence factors, which are responsible for various infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. They are responsible for producing infections on indwelling medical devices by attaching on to them and forming a biofilm. Antibiofilm, antivirulence, and gene expression studies of biofilm treated with esters of flavonols were evaluated.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing health problem. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen of major concern because of its multidrug resistance and global threat, especially in health-care settings. The pathogenesis and drug resistance of depends on its ability to form biofilms, making infections chronic and untreatable as the biofilm protects against antibiotics and host immunity.

A 63-year-old woman undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) presented to our hospital with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cloudy PD effluent. An elevated white blood cell count in the PD effluent led to a diagnosis of PD-associated peritonitis. She was subsequently started on intraperitoneal cefazolin and ceftazidime, after which her condition improved rapidly.
