“…One of the most studied clinically relevant pathogenic fungi is the Candida genus, mainly Candida albicans , which is the most frequently isolated species due to its ability to produce nosocomial opportunistic infections to life‐threatening infections through a wide repertoire of virulence factors such as biofilm formation (Atiencia‐Carrera, Cabezas‐Mera, Tejera, et al., 2022; Atiencia‐Carrera, Cabezas‐Mera, Vizuete, et al., 2022; Cangui‐Panchi et al., 2022, 2023). Little is still known about the antimicrobial efficacy of stingless bee honey on other Candida species.…”

“…One main concern worldwide is the biofilm formation by several pathogens on wounds, burns, or even intravascular devices due to the robust protection provided by biofilm structure against empirical standard treatments and host immune responses being a persistent source of microbial dissemination (Cangui‐Panchi et al., 2022, 2023; Percival et al., 2015; Rajpaul, 2015; Thomas & Thomas, 2021). To date, few studies have been conducted on the possible antibiofilm effects of stingless bee honey (see Figure 4).…”

“…On the other hand, if a more thorough antimicrobial evaluation is required, other more labor-intensive and complex approaches should be selected like broth microdilution and time-kill assays. The broth microdilution technique is still considered by many standards the gold standard methodology for antimicrobial activity evaluation allowing to obtain MIC and MBC values and even the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration and minimum biofilm eradication concentration values (Boorn et al, 2010;Cangui-Panchi et al, 2022;Wiegand et al, 2008).…”

Honey produced by stingless bees (Tribe: Meliponini) is well‐known for their medicinal and antimicrobial properties from their diverse content of bioactive compounds. However, it has not been possible to fully characterize its active principles. The present systematic review is based on 117 full‐text articles. Our review highlights (1) the need to apply complementary methodologies and consolidate protocols to quantify antimicrobial activity (2) to characterize antimicrobial agents in honeys of Heterotrigona itama, Tetragonisca angustula, and Melipona beecheii, and; (3) to search for compounds against multidrug‐resistant and/or biofilm‐forming pathogens. Moreover, we performed a meta‐analysis of 29 articles with quantitative data using diffusion assays and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were the most evaluated pathogens, evidencing 221 and 149 antimicrobial activity assays against honey samples of 36 and 24 stingless bee species, respectively. The highest pooled mean in diffusion assays against S. aureus showed a difference between methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and non‐MRSA strains {14.43 [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.16–16.71] mm vs. 11.55 (95% CI: 10.22–12.87) mm}, whereas E. coli showed pooled means of 9.09 (95% CI: 7.93–10.25) mm. Regarding MIC expressed as volume/volume percentage (%, v/v), the estimated inhibitory concentrations were 7.89 (95% CI: 3.94–11.83) mL/100 mL for MRSA and 5.60 (95% CI: 2.66–8.55) mL/100 mL considering all S. aureus strains. In contrast, the estimated MICs as weight/volume percentage (%, w/v) showed 15.00 [(95% CI: 12.84–17.16) g/100 mL for S. aureus and 16.17 (95% CI: 5.78–26.55) g/100 mL for E. coli. However, honey remains an unexplored source of antimicrobial molecules.

“…Surface qualities, genetic backgrounds, environmental factors, and presence of bacterial adhesins influence this process [ 46 , 47 ]. Because of its practical relevance on many areas of life, several recent studies have focused on the differences in biofilm-forming capacities of bacteria on either biotic or abiotic surfaces [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. Our results are consistent with these previous findings as the biofilm-forming abilities of the mud isolates differed on the 96-well plate and the glass surface ( Table 2 ).…”

Isolation and Characterisation of Electrogenic Bacteria from Mud Samples

To develop efficient microbial fuel cell systems for green energy production using different waste products, establishing characterised bacterial consortia is necessary. In this study, bacteria with electrogenic potentials were isolated from mud samples and examined to determine biofilm-formation capacities and macromolecule degradation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry identifications have revealed that isolates represented 18 known and 4 unknown genuses. They all had the capacities to reduce the Reactive Black 5 stain in the agar medium, and 48 of them were positive in the wolfram nanorod reduction assay. The isolates formed biofilm to different extents on the surfaces of both adhesive and non-adhesive 96-well polystyrene plates and glass. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed the different adhesion potentials of isolates to the surface of carbon tissue fibres. Eight of them (15%) were able to form massive amounts of biofilm in three days at 23 °C. A total of 70% of the isolates produced proteases, while lipase and amylase production was lower, at 38% and 27% respectively. All of the macromolecule-degrading enzymes were produced by 11 isolates, and two isolates of them had the capacity to form a strong biofilm on the carbon tissue one of the most used anodic materials in MFC systems. This study discusses the potential of the isolates for future MFC development applications.

“…Catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) account for 70-80% of all hospitalacquired UTIs, and deciding to insert a urinary catheter is the leading risk factor. [1][2][3]. Prolonged and ineffective antibiotic therapy, which is often an outcome of this problem, generates additional costs (and health risks) related to the patient's extended stay at the hospital.…”

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections affecting millions worldwide. The increasing emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria has become a serious concern in managing UTIs. Therefore, there is a growing interest in using bacteriophages as an alternative or adjunct therapy for UTIs. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, making them a promising tool for treating UTIs caused by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria. This article provides a quick outlook on using bacteriophages to treat UTIs. We summarize the current understanding of the biology of bacteriophages, the challenges associated with developing phage‐based therapies, and the promising results of several case reports and clinical trials. We also highlight the potential of phage therapy as a valuable tool in the fight against antibiotic‐resistant UTIs. This quick outlook on a bacteriophage‐based approach for treating UTIs offers a timely and informative summary of the current research in this field.
