Effects of natural substances on microbial biofilms
Original language description
Microbial biofilms are communities of microorganisms, which are irreversibly attached to a surface, interface or to each other and are embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix. They cause wide range of human infections and contaminate medical instruments and industrial devices. Because microorganisms in biofilm are up to 1000 times more resistant than planktonic cells, the prevention or eradication of biofilm is extremely difficult. It is the reason of increased attention to this topic in many groups of researchers. Higher concentrations of antibiotics are not solution because microorganisms soon develop multiresistance. Therefore the use of natural substances represents new promising method for the treatment of biofilm infections. They can be used in low concentrations and no resistance against them is developed. Recently many natural substances with antibacterial, antifungal or antibiofilm activities were isolated from microorganisms or plants. Examples of these substances are g
