Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial isolates from infected wounds and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern: some remarks about wound infection.
TL;DR: This study aimed to identify the bacterial pathogens present in infected wounds and characterise their resistance profile to the most common antibiotics used in therapy, being amikacin the most active against these bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential antibacterial activity of carvacrol-loaded poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles against microbial biofilm.
Antonio Iannitelli,Rossella Grande,Antonio Di Stefano,Mara Di Giulio,Piera Sozio,Lucinda J. Bessa,Sara Laserra,Cecilia Paolini,Feliciano Protasi,Luigina Cellini +9 more
TL;DR: Carvacrol (Car.) has been encapsulated in poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) nanocapsules in order to obtain a suitable drug delivery system that could represent a starting point for developing new therapeutic strategies against biofilm-associated infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular DNA in Helicobacter pylori biofilm: a backstairs rumour.
R. Grande,M. Di Giulio,Lucinda J. Bessa,E. Di Campli,M. Baffoni,Simone Guarnieri,Luigina Cellini +6 more
TL;DR: This study detected and characterized the Extracellular DNA (eDNA) in the biofilm extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix of Helicobacter pylori and investigated the role of such component in theBiofilm development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Tryptoquivalines and Meroditerpenes Isolated from the Marine-Derived Fungi Neosartorya paulistensis, N. laciniosa, N. tsunodae, and the Soil Fungi N. fischeri and N. siamensis
Nelson G.M. Gomes,Lucinda J. Bessa,Suradet Buttachon,Paulo Martins da Costa,Jamrearn Buaruang,Tida Dethoup,Artur M. S. Silva,Anake Kijjoa +7 more
TL;DR: A new meroditerpene, sartorypyrone C (5), was isolated, together with the known tryptoquivalines, from the culture of the marine sponge-associated fungus Neosartorya paulistensis, and exhibited significant antibacterial activity as well as synergism with antibiotics against the Gram-positive multidrug-resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Isocoumarin Derivatives and Meroterpenoids from the Marine Sponge-Associated Fungus Aspergillus similanensis sp. nov. KUFA 0013
Chadaporn Prompanya,Tida Dethoup,Lucinda J. Bessa,Madalena Pinto,Luís Gales,Paulo Martins da Costa,Artur M. S. Silva,Anake Kijjoa +7 more
TL;DR: Chevalone E (3) was found to show synergism with the antibiotic oxacillin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and was evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, and multidrug-resistant isolates from the environment.
