Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:47:44Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease caused by pathogenic biofilm. In particular, Streptococcus mutans synthesizes biofilm exopolysaccharides, while Candida albicans is associated with the development of severe carious lesions. Aim: This study aimed to prevent the formation of S. mutans...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-03-24; Development of effective therapies to control oral biofilms is challenging, as topically introduced agents must avoid rapid clearance from biofilm-tooth interfaces while targeting biofilm microenvironments. Additionally, exopolysaccharides-matrix and acidification of biofilm microenvironments are associ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-05-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); Dental caries is a diet-biofilm-dependent disease. Streptococcus mutans contributes to cariogenic biofilms by producing an extracellular matrix rich in exopolysaccharides and acids. The study aimed to determine the effect of topical treatmen...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-09-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as a means to treat Candida infections. However, microorganisms in biofilms are less susceptible to aPDT than planktonic cultures, possibly because the matrix limits the penetration...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Background: Streptococcus mutans orchestrates the development of a biofilm that causes dental caries in the presence of dietary sucrose, and, in the bloodstream, S. mutans can cause systemic infections. The development of a cariogenic biofilm is dependent on the formation of an extracellular matrix rich...

However, the susceptibility of biofilm-derived anaerobic bacteria to aPDT is poorly characterized. Here, we evaluated the effect of Photodithazine (PDZ)-mediated aPDT on Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis bio...
