The Battle of Probiotics and Their Derivatives Against Biofilms Authors: Abolfazl Barzegari, Keyvan Kheyrolahzadeh, Seyed Mahdi Hosseiniyan Khatibi, Simin Sharifi, Mohammad Yousef Memar, and Sepideh Zununi Vahed Published: 2020 Feb 26 Abstract Biofilm-related infections have been a major clinical problem and include chronic infections, device-related infections and malfunction of medical devices. Since biofilms are not fully available for the human immune system and antibiotics, they are difficult to eradicate and control; therefore, imposing a global threat to human health. There have been a ..read more

Research Objectives: We aim to assess the antibacterial effectiveness of probiotic cleaning in a dental clinic at the University Dental Hospital Sharjah (UDHS), UAE. Materials and Methods: The current cleaning protocol of UDHS was evaluated by the surface swabbing of three dental clinics routinely cleaned using regular chemical disinfectants. Then, a new probiotic cleaning solution containing Bacillus subtilis was applied for 3 weeks in a selected clinic. Bacteria were grown onto selective culture media for colony counting from surfaces cleaned with probiotic solution compared to th ..read more

Study by the Italian University of Ferrara at the Hospital of Santa Anne di Ferrara “Testing Bio-Stabilizing Agents Using Probiotic Products For Hospital Cleaning And Sanitation” Date: 5/24/2019 The problem of hospital infections Hospital-acquired infections are one of the most common health problems: patients need to stay in hospital for longer, spend more money on treatment, national health budgets suffer, limiting the use of modern, other procedures or methods. The study was conducted in Italy, where it is estimated that hospital infection is as high as 8%. approximately 700,000 cases per ..read more

Research Summary 9/23/2019 Limitations of surface disinfection Contaminated environmental surfaces act as reservoirs of microorganisms (Hota B, 2004), which include several health-related pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms). As a result, contaminated surfaces can influence the incidence of infections in healthcare settings. It is one of the most common complications in health care facilities worldwide (Allegranzi B, 2010, Cookson B, 2013, Suetens C, 2013). Proper surface disinfection is recommended as the primary procedure for infection prevention (Rutala WA 1996, Sehulster L 2003, Man ..read more

Abstract – Use of Potential Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) Biofilms for the Control of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 Biofilms Formation Use of probiotic biofilms can be an alternative approach for reducing the formation of pathogenic biofilms in food industries. The aims of this study were (i) to evaluate the probiotic properties of bacteriocinogenic (Lactococcus lactis VB69, L. lactis VB94, Lactobacillus sakei MBSa1, and Lactobacillus curvatus MBSa3) and non-bacteriocinogenic (L. lactis 368, Lactobacillus helveticus 354, Lactobacillus cas ..read more

Abstract – US National Library of Medicine & National Institutes of Health By: Elizabeth A. Grice and Julia A. Segre The skin is the human body’s largest organ, colonized by a diverse milieu of microorganisms, most of which are harmless or even beneficial to their host. Colonization is driven by the ecology of the skin surface, which is highly variable depending on topographical location, endogenous host factors and exogenous environmental factors. The cutaneous innate and adaptive immune responses can modulate the skin microbiota, but the microbiota also functions in educating t ..read more

How Fatal Biofilms Form SOURCE: Yale University. “How fatal biofilms form.” ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 5 October 2018. By severely curtailing the effects of antibiotics, the formation of organized communities of bacterial cells known as biofilms can be deadly during surgeries and in urinary tract infections. Yale researchers have just come a lot closer to understanding how these biofilms develop, and potentially how to stop them. Biofilms form when bacterial cells gather and develop structures that bond them in a gooey substance. This glue can protect the cells from the outside world and allo ..read more
