Chitosan biological molecule improves bactericidal competence of ceftazidime against Burkholderia pseudomallei biofilms

Nuttaya Thonglao et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the ability of deacetylated chitosan (dCS) to disrupt biofilms of Burkholderia pseudomallei, enabling ceftazidime (CAZ) to kill the embedded bacteria. The combination of dCS and CAZ acts synergistically to kill biofilm cells more effectively than either compound alone.

Siriluck Anunnatsiri et al.

Summary: The study concluded that a 12-week regimen of oral TMP-SMX for melioidosis eradication treatment showed lower total mortality and met the noninferiority standard for the secondary composite endpoint including recurrent melioidosis and mortality.

Enhancing the therapeutic use of biofilm-dispersing enzymes with smart drug delivery systems

Chelsea R. Thorn et al.

Summary: Biofilm-dispersing enzymes have the potential to enhance microbial susceptibility to antibiotics and immune cells by degrading the extracellular polymeric matrix, but face challenges of denaturation and degradation in vivo. Drug delivery systems offer promise in overcoming these challenges through encapsulation and protection, providing a targeted therapeutic approach for biofilm-associated infections.
