Biofilms formed by Candida albicans pose therapeutic challenges due to their resistance conventional antimicrobials, highlighting the need for more effective treatments. Rhamnolipids (RLs) are biosurfactants with diverse antimicrobial properties. Bacteriophages viruses that target specific bacterial strains. Recent studies have shown they may affect biofilm formation fungi and yeasts. This study investigated combined effects of RLs bacteriophages against C. biofilms, focusing on...
Abstract Background Contemporary biotechnology focuses on many problems related to the functioning of developed societies. Many these are health, especially with rapidly rising numbers people suffering from civilization diseases, such as obesity or diabetes. One factor contributing development diseases is high consumption sucrose. A very promising substitute for this sugar has emerged: polyhydroxy alcohols, characterized by low caloric value and sufficient sweetness replace table in food...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC are plasmid (but also chromosomally) encoded enzymes found in Enterobacteriaceae, determining resistance to a variety of important antibiotics including penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams. In recent decades, the prevalence ESBL/AmpC-producing bacteria has increased rapidly across world. Here, we evaluate potential use bacteriophages terms reduction antibiotic-resistant healthy animals. The aim our studies was isolate capable destroying...
Therapeutic application of bacterial viruses (phage therapy) has in recent years been rediscovered by many scientists, as a method which may potentially replace conventional antibacterial strategies. However, one the main problems related to phage is stability viruses. Though techniques have used sustain activity, novel tools are needed allow long-term storage and versatile forms. In this study, we combined two well-known methods for bacteriophage immobilization. First, encapsulated phages...
The antibacterial activity of bacteriophages has been described rather well. However, knowledge about the direct interactions with mammalian organisms and their other, i.e. non-antibacterial, activities in systems is quite scarce. It must be emphasised that are natural parasites bacteria, which turn or symbionts mammals (including humans). Bacteriophages constantly present bodies environment great amounts. On other hand, perspective possible use bacteriophage preparations for therapies...
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. It was shown bacteriophage therapy is an effective method of combating bacterial infections, including infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. One the main obstacles to widespread use phage preparations limited knowledge regarding influence bacteriophages on human organisms. In our study, we evaluated whether application impair bactericidal activities phagocytes (granulocytes and monocytes). used phages T2 T4 specific Escherichia...
This article presents the results of research conducted on bacteriophages inactivation using high-voltage (HV) short electric pulses. The are bacterial viruses, which share similar basic features in their structure to other so that they may be considered a first choice model for experimental studies viral pathogens, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). aqueous solution was subjected influence high electric-field pulses, provided by Marx generator. It had...
Microbial contamination in livestock, resulting foodborne illnesses, poses a serious problem for veterinary. Rapidly growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains triggers increased interest phage therapy, which has already been tested against zoonotic pathogens animals.The aim the study was to investigate potential application lyophilization process commercial processing phages. We lyophilized three phages active common animal E. coli, Salmonella and Enterococcus, presence...
