1. Brazilian scientists: much to learn from the microbial biofilm lifestyle (a resistant, resilient, well-orchestrated, and dynamic organization)
Resumo Na perspectiva atual, alguns paralelos são traçados entre a carreira de cientista no Brasil e a capacidade dos microrganismos de formarem biofilme. Essas conexões realmente existem? Definitivamente a resposta é SIM. Ao longo de bilhões de anos, os biofilmes microbianos evoluíram para formar uma comunidade coesa, bem estruturada, organizada e din

2. Microbial profile of symptomatic pericoronitis lesions: a cross-sectional study
Abstract Objective: The microbial composition of pericoronitis (Pc) is still controversial; it is not yet clear if the microbial profile of these lesions is similar to the profile observed in periodontitis (Pd). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the microbial profile of Pc lesions and compare it directly with that of subjects with Pd.

3. Antibacterial and Cytotoxic Potential of a Brazilian Red Propolis
Abstract Objective: To evaluate in vitro the effect of a red propolis ethanolic extract (RPE) in the prevention of growth of a cariogenic biofilm and its cytotoxic potential. Material and Methods: Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) of RPE against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei were determined. The cytotoxic poten

4. Additive manufacturing of titanium alloy could modify the pathogenic microbial profile: an in vitro study
Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging process for biomaterials and medical devices. Direct Laser Metal Sintering (DLMS) is an AM technique used to fabricate Ti–6Al–4V implant materials with enhanced surface-related properties compared with wrought samples; thus, this technique could influence microbial adsorption and colonization. Therefore

5. Microbiologically-Influenced Corrosion of 1020 Carbon Steel in Artificial Seawater Using Garlic Oil as Natural Biocide
This work aims evaluate the use of biocides in the microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) of AISI 1020 carbon steel by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in artificial seawater. A natural biocide (garlic oil) and a commercial biocide (glutaraldehyde) were used to control the corrosion caused by these bacteria in artificial seawater. Microbial growth on th

6. Dendritic cells and their relation to apical peridontitis
Abstract: The purpose of this manuscript was to re-discuss apical periodontitis, apical biofilm, and its possible relationship with dendritic cells (DC). DCs are potent regulators of the immune system and their function is divided into three categories that involve the presentation of antigens: the presentation of antigens and activation of T cells; a not we

7. What are the advantages of living in a community? A microbial biofilm perspective!
Biofilm formation is the preferred mode of growth lifestyle for many microorganisms, including bacterial and fungal human pathogens. Biofilm is a strong and dynamic structure that confers a broad range of advantages to its members, such as adhesion/cohesion capabilities, mechanical properties, nutritional sources, metabolite exchange platform, cellular commu

8. Biofilm Formation and Corrosion on Carbon Steel API 5LX60 in Clayey Soil
Corrosion of buried pipelines is a matter of concern to the oil and gas industry since the time when carbon steel began to be widely used in these pipelines for the transportation of fluids. The microbial communities associated with biofilms promote modification in the surrounding environment and may accentuate the degradation of oil and gas pipelines causin

9. Evaluation antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the antimicrobial peptide P34 against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis
ABSTRACT The adhesion ability of bacteria to abiotic surfaces has important implications in food industries, because these organisms can survive for long periods through the biofilm formation. They can be transferred from one place to another in the industry causing contamination of the food processing environment. In this study, the antibacterial and antibi

10. Identification of Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Hypertensive Drugs as Inhibitors of Bacterial Diguanylate Cyclases
Biofilms are widely present in many human chronic infections, often more resistant to treatment with antibiotics. Bacterial diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) synthesize cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) from two guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) molecules. c-di-GMP is a central second messenger controlling biofilm formation, turning this class of enz

11. Clinical trial for evaluation of Ricinus communis and sodium hypochlorite as denture cleanser
Abstract The development of opportunistic infections due to poor denture hygiene conditions justified the search for effective hygiene protocols for controlling denture biofilm. Objective This study evaluated Ricinus communis and sodium hypochlorite solutions in terms of biofilm removal ability, remission of candidiasis, antimicrobial activity, and partici

12. Microbial interactions: ecology in a molecular perspective
ABSTRACT The microorganism-microorganism or microorganism-host interactions are the key strategy to colonize and establish in a variety of different environments. These interactions involve all ecological aspects, including physiochemical changes, metabolite exchange, metabolite conversion, signaling, chemotaxis and genetic exchange resulting in genotype sel
