      We report the antibiofilm activity by the sponge-associated bacterium Cobetia marina upon Staphylococcus epidermidis clinical isolates obtained from central venous catheters. Antibiofilm activity/antimicrobial susceptibility ...
    • High vancomycin resistance among biofilms produced by staphylococcus species isolated from central venous catheters 

      Antunes, Ana Lucia Souza; Bonfanti, Jéssica Weis; Perez, Leandro Reus Rodrigues; Pinto, Camille Catani Ferreira; Freitas, Ana Lucia Peixoto de; Macedo, Alexandre José; Barth, Afonso Luis (2011) [Artigo de periódico]
      Biofilm production is an important mechanism that allows microbes to escape host defences and antimicrobial therapy. Vancomycin has been used largely for the treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections. ...
    • Red pepper peptide coatings control Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion and biofilm formation 

      Von Borowski, Rafael Gomes; Barros, Muriel Primon de; Silva, Denise Brentan; Lopes, Norberto Peporine; Zimmer, Karine Rigon; Staats, Charley Christian; Oliveira, Cristiane Bernardes de; Giudice, Emmanuel; Gillet, Reynald; Macedo, Alexandre José; Gnoatto, Simone Cristina Baggio; Zimmer, Aline Rigon (2020) [Artigo de periódico]
      Medical devices (indwelling) have greatly improved healthcare. Nevertheless, infections related to the use of these apparatuses continue to be a major clinical concern. Biofilms form on surfaces after bacterial adhesion, ...
