All rights reservedPathogenic microbial biofilm, a consortium of microbial cells protected by a self-produced polymer matrix, is considered a worldwide challenge due to the inherent antibiotic resistance conferred by its lifestyle. Living, as it does, in a community of microbial organisms in a clinical situation, makes it responsible for severe and dangerous cases of infection. Combating this organisation of cells usually requires high antibiotic doses for a prolonged time, and these approaches often fail, contributing to infection persistence. In addition to therapeutic limitations, biofilms can be a source of infections when they grow inmedical devices. The challenge imposed by biofilms has mobilised researchers in the entire world to prospect or develop alternatives to control biofilms. In this context, this review summarises the new frontiers that could be used in clinical circumstances in order to prevent or eliminate pathogenic biofilms.This work was supported by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES, Brazil), Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (CNPq, Brazil), Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAPDF, Brazil), Fundação de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento do Ensino, Ciência e Tecnologia do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (FUNDECT, Brazil), Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia –Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior (FCT-MCTES, Portugal), including the fellowcship SPRH/BD/ 100517/2014 to M.R.F., and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (MSCA-RISE, European Union) project INPACT (call H2020-MSCA-RISE-2014, grant agreement 644167).ElsevierRepositório da Universidade de LisboaRibeiro, Suzana M.Felício, Mário RomãoBoas, Esther VilasAbreu, Sónia GonçalvesCosta, Fabrício F.Samy, Ramar PerumalSantos, NunoFranco, Octávio L.2019-03-25T11:38:39Z20162016-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/37673engPharmacology & Therapeutics 160 (2016) 133–1440163-725810.1016/j.pharmthera.2016.02.006info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-03-17T14:05:32Zoai:repositorio.ulisboa.pt:10451/37673Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T03:02:24.830112Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
