Most free-living bacteria can attach to surfaces and aggregate to grow into multicellular
communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances called biofilms. Biofilms are …

For around three decades, the fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotic ciprofloxacin has been used
to treat a range of diseases, including chronic otorrhea, endocarditis, lower respiratory tract …

Bacterial infections represent a significant health threat globally, and are responsible for the
majority of hospital-acquired infections, leading to extensive mortality and burden on global …

Microbial biofilms are becoming increasingly difficult to treat in the medical setting due to
their intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. To combat this, several biofilm dispersal agents are …

The emergence of bacterial resistance has motivated researchers to discover new
antibacterial agents. Nowadays, fluoroquinolones keep their status as one of the essential …

Nitroxides are a versatile class of stable free radicals that have long established themselves
in a wide range of applications. Their incorporation into macromolecular architectures has …

This review is aimed to provide extensive survey of quinolones and fluoroquinolones for a
variety of applications ranging from metal complexes and nanoparticle development to …

Infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens are a leading cause of mortality
worldwide. In particular, recalcitrant bacterial communities known as biofilms are implicated …

Isothiazolones are widely used as biocides in industrial processing systems and personal
care products, but their use to treat infections in humans has been hampered by their …

In this letter, we report our efforts to design, synthesize and evaluate biological activities of a
series of novel hybridized compounds containing 1-tetrazole and 4-pyridinyl-1, 2, 4-triazole …
