Studies involving antimicrobial-coated endotracheal tubes are scarce, and new approaches to control multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm on these devices should be investigated. In this study, five P. bacteriophages from domestic sewage were isolated. All of them belong the order Caudovirales, Myoviridae family. They pH heat stable produce 27 46 particles after a latent period 30 min at 37oC. Their dsDNA genome (ranging ⁓62 kb ⁓65 kb), encode 65 89 different putative proteins....

Biosafety in dentistry aims to combat cross-contamination and biofilm dental unit waterlines. The aim was investigate from a physical, chemical, mechanical biological perspective, protocol for using chemical products (citric acid, sodium bicarbonate chloride) improve maintain water quality Change microhardness corrosion tendency were observed stainless steel samples. On the polyurethane surfaces, there changes color, roughness. Anti-biofilm evaluations revealed significant reduction biomass,...

Denture biofilm represents a potential source of microbial contamination/infection that has been combated by new hygiene methods. Bacteriophages have already related as growth controller, but dentures research is scarce. Objective: this evaluated if it possible to isolate bacteriophages from biofilm, and use an emergent way control growing. Method: samples were collected sixteen maxillary complete in aseptic zone brushing their internal surfaces using soft toothbrush. The suspensions...
