Biomimetic cyclodextrin enzyme models for modulation of P. aeruginosa quorum sensing and host immune response
Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell-to-cell communication on cell density, which is based on signal molecules, N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) for
Fungal quorum sensing molecules as potential drugs in the treatment of chronic wounds and their delivery
Interestingly fungal quorum sensing signal molecules (QSMs) were found effective against bacterial biofilms hindering the healing of chronic non-healing wounds
Thymol/gallic acid/β-cyclodextrin bio-nanocomposite against quorum sensing system and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa (PAO1)
The quorum sensing (QS) system and cell-to-cell communication have had a significant impact on biofilm formation and virulence factor increase
Impact of Randomly Methylated Cyclodextrins on Candida albicans
The challenges related to biofilm-associated infections and diseases have prompted scientists to develop strategies aimed at reducing biofilm-forming capacity. Cells
CDs for fighting against Candida albicans biofilms
The formation of biofilms is one of the most important virulence factors of the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans. This polymorphic
Novel carrier with cyclodextrin and quorum sensing synergy: An efficient method for selective enrichment of anammox bacteria
High-efficiency enrichment of functional bacteria is one of the biggest technical barriers to the application of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox).
Fabrication of a salivary amylase electrochemical sensor based on surface confined MWCNTs/β-cyclodextrin/starch architect for dental caries in clinical samples
As one of the prevalent infectious oral diseases, dental caries, also known as tooth decay or dental cavities, is instigated
Cyclodextrins: prospective nanocarriers for the delivery of antibacterial agents, against bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics
A review with 303 references Several different kinds of cyclodextrin nanocarriers (β-CD, HP-β-CD, Meth-β-CD, cationic CD, sugar-grafted CD) are utilized
Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Photodynamic Action of Photosensitizing Nanoassemblies Based on Sulfobutylether-β-Cyclodextrin
