The resilience of biofilms to conventional antimicrobial treatments underscores the need for innovative strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy of a synthetic analogue of the antimicrobial lipopeptide humimycin as a preventive measure against biofilm formation of S. aureus on catheters, contact lenses and contact lens cases, both as a coating agent and in combination with commercial multipurpose contact lens solutions. The results demonstrate a dose-dependent reduction in biofilm formation with the humimycin analogue coatings achieving up to 98% inhibition at 256 µg/mL. This significant reduction was accompanied by a marked decrease in bacterial metabolic activity, indicating that the humimycin analogue disrupts biofilm integrity and impairs bacterial function. When combined with commercial contact lens solutions such as Opti-Free® Express® and Solocare Aqua®, the biofilm-disrupting activity of the lipopeptide was further enhanced, with lower minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration values. These findings suggest that the humimycin analogue holds significant promise as a novel antimicrobial strategy for preventing S. aureus biofilm-related infections acquired from medical devices.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"294-304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146099569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the antibiofilm and resistance-modifying effects of two monoterpenes, menthol and linalool, alone and in combination with ten antibiotics, against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Menthol exhibited MIC and MBC of 800 µg/mL against E. coli and the same MIC against S. epidermidis, while linalool showed MICs of 800 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL, respectively. Combination assays revealed enhanced activity of erythromycin with both monoterpenes against E. coli and of amoxicillin with menthol against S. epidermidis, although sessile cells were largely unaffected. When applied individually, both monoterpenes caused a 3-log reduction in culturable E. coli biofilm cells.

Candida is the most common fungal genus causing urinary infections, representing a significant medical challenge, particularly in patients undergoing prolonged catheterization-a risk factor that exacerbates clinical conditions by promoting the formation of resistant biofilms. In this context, the coating of catheters with antimicrobial substances combined with drug repositioning is an innovative alternative. In this study, we evaluated the activity of promethazine (PMT), a first-generation antihistamine, against the formation of Candida spp. biofilms on urinary catheter fragments. Broth microdilution, impregnation of urinary catheter fragments, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were the exploratory techniques employed. PMT proved to be an effective agent in inhibiting biofilm formation, achieving a 50% reduction in colony-forming units (CFU/mL). The results indicated that PMT exhibits high potential as an antifungal agent, with promising applications in coatings aimed at preventing Candida spp. infections associated with long-term urinary devices.","PeriodicalId":8898,"journal":{"name":"Biofouling","volume":" ","pages":"148-157"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145793160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We exposed zebrafish embryos 6-144 h post-fertilisation (hpf) to irgarol at concentrations currently detected in the environment and at pharmacological concentrations. At environmental concentrations, irgarol did not impact survival, hatching, morphological development or mitochondrial function. However, significant changes to heart rate and swimming behaviour occurred. Larvae were significantly hyperactive following exposure, then hypoactive after being grown in clean conditions for weeks.
