Bacterial adhesion and growth reduction by novel rubber-derived oligomers

Abstract: In the medical field, attached bacteria can cause infections associated with catheters, incisions, burns, and medical implants especially in immunocompromised patients. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that attached bacteria are ~1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic cells. The rapid spread of antibiotic resistance in these and other organisms has led to a significant need to find new methods for preventing bacterial attachment. The goal of this research was to evaluate the effectivene… Show more

“…Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that poses a major threat to long‐term‐hospitalized patients and individuals with cystic fibrosis, as well as on the bandages of burn patients, contact lens, urinary catheters and ports for cancer patients (Badawy et al . ). The negative impact of biofilms in the healthcare sector can be devastating.…”

“…Niektóre drobnoustroje są jednak odporne na działanie typowych środków antyseptycznych i dezynfekujących, a walkę z zakażeniami utrudnia wytworzona oporność bakterii na liczne antybiotyki [7,10,41,[45][46][47][48][49][50]. Do grupy bakterii opornych należą przede wszystkim: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.…”

“…Pseudomonas aeruginosa oraz Escherichia coli, wytwarzają tzw. biofilm utrudniający działanie antybiotyków i antyseptyków [3,9,13,14,38,41,47,53,54]. Wszechobecny biofilm tworzy się w wilgotnym, niesterylnym środowisku, wykazuje adhezję do powierzchni zarówno biologicznych, jak i nieożywionych [55].…”
