“…As indicated in a randomized double-blind trail, mouthrinses consist of Lemongrass oil reduced oral malodour for 8-day treatment, which might due to its selectively anti-microbial effect against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans ATCC43718 and Porphyromonas gingivalis W50 [95]. Dentifrice containing natural components such as essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia or vegetable oil also exhibited enhanced antibacterial and improved biofilm control effect in patients with orthodontic treatment or with caries when compared with commercial dentifrice [96,97]. There were also some clinical trials related to the treatment of natural anti-biofilm products on urinary tract infection (UIT).…”

Biofilm is a natural form of bacterial growth ubiquitously in environmental niches. The biofilm formation results in increased resistance to negative environmental influences including resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. Quorum sensing (QS) is cell-to-cell communication mechanism, which plays an important role in biofilm development and balances the environment when the bacteria density becomes high. Due to the prominent points of biofilms implicated in infectious disease and the spread of multi-drug resistance, it is urgent to discover new antibacterial agents that can regulate biofilm formation and development. Accumulated evidences demonstrated that natural products from plants had antimicrobial and chemo-preventive properties in modulation of biofilm formation in the last two decades. This review will summarize recent studies on the discovery of natural anti-biofilm agents from plants with clear-cut mechanisms or identified molecular addresses, as well as some herbs with unknown mechanisms or unidentified bioactive ingredients. We also focus on the progression of techniques on the extraction and identification of natural anti-biofilm substances. Besides, anti-biofilm therapeutics undergoing clinical trials are discussed. These newly discovered natural anti-biofilm agents are promising candidates which could provide novel strategies for biofilm-associated infections.

Biofilm describes a microbially-derived sessile community in which microbial cells are firmly attached to the substratum and embedded in extracellular polymeric matrix. Microbial biofilms account for up to 80% of all bacterial and fungal infections in humans. Biofilm-associated pathogens are particularly resistant to antibiotic treatment, and thus novel antibiofilm approaches needed to be developed. Antimicrobial Photodynamic therapy (aPDT) had been recently proposed to combat clinically relevant biofilms such as dental biofilms, ventilator associated pneumonia, chronic wound infections, oral candidiasis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. aPDT uses non-toxic dyes called photosensitizers (PS), which can be excited by harmless visible light to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). aPDT is a multi-stage process including topical PS administration, light irradiation, and interaction of the excited state with ambient oxygen. Numerous in vitro and in vivo aPDT studies have demonstrated biofilm-eradication or substantial reduction. ROS are produced upon photo-activation and attack adjacent targets, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids present within the biofilm matrix, on the cell surface and inside the microbial cells. Damage to non-specific targets leads to the destruction of both planktonic cells and biofilms. The review aims to summarize the progress of aPDT in destroying biofilms and the mechanisms mediated by ROS. Finally, a brief section provides suggestions for future research.

“…The antibiofilm effects of vegetable oil (Brazil nut oil) on commercially available dentifrice in terms of dental biofilm control were evaluated recently (Filogônio and others ). These researchers found that the addition of vegetable oil to a commercially available dentifrice improved dental biofilm control, suggesting that this oil may aid in the prevention and/or control of caries and periodontal diseases.…”

Biofilms are matrix-enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or nonbiological surface. Biofilm formation is a significant problem in the medical, food, and marine industries and can lead to substantial economic and health problems. The complex microbial community of a biofilm is highly resistant to antibiotics and sanitizers and confers persistent survival that is a challenge to overcome. There are several conventional approaches to combating biofilms, physical and/or mechanical removal, chemical removal, and the use of antimicrobials, sanitizers, or disinfectants to kill biofilm organisms. However, biofilms are highly resistant to these approaches as opposed to planktonic cells. Thus, novel approaches other than the conventional methods are urgently needed. In this review, we discuss current and new advanced antibiofilm strategies that are superior to the conventional method in terms of addressing the biofilm problem for the improvement of healthcare, food safety, and in industrial processes.
