The Use of Probiotics to Fight Biofilms in Medical Devices: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Medical device-associated infections (MDAI) are a critical problem due to the increasing usage of medical devices in the aging population. The inhibition of biofilm formation through the use of probiotics has received attention from the medical field in the last years. However, this sparse knowledge has not been properly reviewed, so that successful strategies for biofilm management can be developed. This study aims to summarize the relevant literature about the effect of probiotics and their metabolites on bi… Show more

“…In addition to antimicrobial action of bacteriocins, LAB produce biosurfactants, a diverse group of amphipathic molecules that can modify physicochemical properties and integrity of the cell envelope by interacting with its components. The chemical nature of biosurfactants originated from different LAB strains ranges from proteinaceous compounds, glycolipidic, glycoproteins, to glycolipopeptides [ 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ]. The key to their surfactant action is their amphipathic nature conferred by charge, hydrophobicity and degree of chemical modifications [ 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ].…”

The key to their surfactant action is their amphipathic nature conferred by charge, hydrophobicity and degree of chemical modifications [ 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ]. Their interactions with membranes can lead to the reduction of the surface tension, a partial membrane solubilisation or change in membrane hydrophobicity and/or cell wall charge [ 94 ].…”
