Control of Biofilm Formation: Antibiotics and Beyond
Ammar Algburi,Ammar Algburi,Nicole Comito,Dimitri Kashtanov,Leon M. T. Dicks,Michael L. Chikindas +5 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive minireview evaluates the effect of natural antimicrobials on pathogens in biofilms when used instead of, or in combination with, commonly prescribed antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial efficacy of curcumin nanoparticles against Listeria monocytogenes is mediated by surface charge
Da Som No,Ammar Algburi,Ammar Algburi,Phong T. Huynh,Aubry Moret,Marion Ringard,Nicole Comito,Djamel Drider,Paul Takhistov,Michael L. Chikindas +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that surface charge as well as the small size of curcumin nanoparticles play a key role in enhancing cell-antimicrobial interaction and antimicrobial efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gemini Cationic Amphiphiles Control Biofilm Formation by Bacterial Vaginosis Pathogens.
Ammar Algburi,Yingyue Zhang,Richard Weeks,Nicole Comito,Saskia Zehm,Juanita Pinto,Kathryn E. Uhrich,Michael L. Chikindas +7 more
TL;DR: The synergism between cationic amphiphiles and the tested conventional antibiotic may be considered a new, effective, and beneficial method of controlling biofilm-associated bacterial vaginosis.
