Antibiofilm Potential of Myrtenol And Itral

By: Selvaraj, A.

The book "Antibiofilm Potential of Myrtenol and Itral" written by A. Selvaraj explores the potential of natural compounds in combating biofilm formation and bacterial infections. The book delves into the role of quorum sensing, extracellular polymeric substances, and adhesion proteins in biofilm formation and the potential of Myrtenol and Itral as antimicrobial agents to disrupt this process. The book also discusses the importance of minimum inhibitory concentration, cell viability, gene expression, virulence factors, and microbial resistance in the development of effective antibiofilm agents. Synergistic effects of different compounds, including those found in essential oils, are also explored. Alternative treatments to traditional antibiotic therapy are examined, including the potential of natural compounds and their ability to affect microbial ecology and biodegradation. Molecular docking is used to understand the mechanisms of action of these compounds and biofilm dispersal, while techniques such as microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are used to analyze their effects on biofilm matrix. The book further examines the potential of these compounds in other areas, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and immune response. In vivo and in vitro studies are discussed, along with the importance of experimental design and statistical analysis. Finally, the book explores drug development and clinical trials, including the challenges and potential benefits of using natural compounds as antibiofilm agents. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the potential of Myrtenol and Itral in combating biofilm formation and bacterial infections.
