Marine Fungal Metabolites: A Promising Source for Antibiofilm Compounds

mycolabadmin

Bacteria can form protective layers called biofilms that resist antibiotics, causing serious infections. Scientists are discovering that fungi living in seaweed and marine environments produce natural compounds that can break down these biofilm barriers. This review shows that marine fungi offer promising new alternatives to combat antibiotic-resistant infections, though more research is needed to fully explore their potential.

Biofilms and Chronic Wounds: Pathogenesis and Treatment Options

mycolabadmin

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and burn injuries, are often complicated by bacterial and fungal biofilms—protective communities of microorganisms that resist antibiotics and delay healing. This review summarizes how biofilms form, why they are difficult to treat with standard approaches, and discusses new therapeutic strategies. While debridement and antiseptics remain important, combining them with novel treatments like bacteriophages, enzyme therapies, and nanotechnology offers better chances for healing these stubborn wounds.

Deoxynucleosides as promising antimicrobial agents against foodborne pathogens and their applications in food and contact material surfaces

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that two nucleoside compounds (ddA and FdCyd) can effectively kill harmful bacteria like Vibrio and Salmonella that form slimy biofilms on seafood and food preparation surfaces. These compounds work by damaging bacterial cell membranes and preventing bacteria from communicating with each other. When combined with a food additive already used in the meat industry, these nucleosides become even more effective at much lower doses, potentially making food safer while reducing residual chemical effects.
