Bacterial resistance is a rapidly escalating threat to public health as our arsenal of effective antibiotics dwindles. Therefore, there an urgent need for new antibiotics. Drug discovery has historically focused on bacteria growing in planktonic cultures. Many were originally developed target individual bacterial cells, being assessed vitro against microorganisms mode life. However, towards the end 20th century it became clear that many live complex communities called biofilms their natural habitat, and this includes habitats within human host. The biofilm life provides advantages microorganisms, such enhanced environmental stresses, including antibiotic challenge. community level provided by distinct from mechanisms operate at cellular level, cannot be overlooked development novel strategies combat infectious diseases. review compares levels light past present efforts. Future perspectives treatment biofilm-related diseases are explored.

Seaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned studied bioactivities so far, these been increasingly associated with content richness both primary secondary metabolites. Although metabolites a pivotal importance such as polysaccharides (fucoidans, agars, carragenans, ulvans, alginates, laminarin), data shown that some largely determines effective bioactive potential of seaweeds. Among metabolites, phenolic compounds feature prominently. The present review provides remarkable insights into seaweed research, specifically addressing its chemical composition, phytopharmacology, cosmetic applications.
