Prevention of Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Soft Contact Lenses Using Natural Compounds

Abstract: PurposeIn eye care field, contact lenses (CL) have a great impact on improving vision, but their use can be limited by ocular infection. CL- associated infections can be reduced by good attention to CL storage case practice. CL-care solutions should be able to control microbial growth on CL.The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of CL-care solutions (found in Egyptian market) with some natural compounds in removal and inhibition of bacterial biofilm formed on soft CL.Clinical isolates we… Show more

“…e biofilm formation rate found in this study is comparable with a study conducted in Chicago [44]. However, the comparatively lower biofilm formation rate was reported in Saudi Arabia [45]. P. aeruginosa (80%), K. pneumoniae (77.8%), CoNS (75.6%), S. aureus (72.4%), and E. coli (60%) were among the leading biofilm formers.…”

“…[75]. Calendulae flos extracts have well documented antimicrobial activity [19][20][21], especially polyphenols and essential oil, are useful in wound healing [76,77]. As shown in Table 4, it is noteworthy that the combination of the Calendulae flos lyophilized extract with chitosan did not exhibit a lower MBC value, in particular against pathogens responsible for wound infections.…”

“…The positive effect on the wound healing process has been proven in numerous in vitro and in vivo studies, which were found to increase the proliferation and migration of human fibroblast and keratinocytes, stimulating angiogenesis and decrease collagen degradation after use of Calendulae flos extracts [14][15][16][17][18]. Furthermore, the Calendulae flos extract possesses some pharmacological features, which include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, as well as antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity against various pathogens, e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and others [19][20][21].…”
