Valenti P, Frioni A, Rossi A, Ranucci S, De Fino I, Cutone A, et al.
Biochem Cell Biol . 2017 Jan; 95(1):41-47. PMID: 28129511
Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-chelating glycoprotein of innate immunity, produced by exocrine glands and neutrophils in infection/inflammation sites, is one of the most abundant defence molecules in airway secretions. Lf, a...

Sessa R, Di Pietro M, Filardo S, Bressan A, Rosa L, Cutone A, et al.
Biochem Cell Biol . 2017 Jan; 95(1):34-40. PMID: 28094551
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate, intracellular pathogen responsible for the most common sexually transmitted bacterial disease worldwide, causing acute and chronic infections. The acute infection is susceptible to antibiotics, whereas...

Berlutti F, Frioni A, Natalizi T, Pantanella F, Valenti P
J Antibiot (Tokyo) . 2014 May; 67(11):763-9. PMID: 24865865
Staphylococcus biofilm exhibits high antibiotic resistance and therapeutic doses of antibiotics are often sub-inhibitory. Whereas data are available on the effect of sub-inhibitory antibiotics on matrix formation, little is known...

Cutone A, Frioni A, Berlutti F, Valenti P, Musci G, Bonaccorsi di Patti M
Biometals . 2014 May; 27(5):807-13. PMID: 24793588
Iron balance is tightly linked to inflammation and it has been demonstrated that many proteins involved in cellular iron management are up- or down-regulated by inflammatory stimuli, ultimately leading to...

Frioni A, Conte M, Cutone A, Longhi C, Musci G, Bonaccorsi di Patti M, et al.
Biometals . 2014 Apr; 27(5):843-56. PMID: 24770943
Conflicting data are reported on pro- or anti-inflammatory activity of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) in different cell models as phagocytes or epithelial cell lines infected by bacteria. Here we evaluated the...
6.
Paesano R, Pacifici E, Benedetti S, Berlutti F, Frioni A, Polimeni A, et al.
Biometals . 2014 Mar; 27(5):999-1006. PMID: 24590680
Unlabelled: Objective Evaluate the safety and efficacy of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) versus the ferrous sulphate standard intervention in curing iron deficiency (ID) and ID anaemia (IDA) in pregnant women affected...

Aust Endod J . 2014 Mar; 41(1):17-23. PMID: 24588799
This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial action of KTP (potassium-titanyl-phosphate) laser irradiations (compared with 980 nm diode laser), associated with conventional endodontic procedures, on Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. Fifty-six dental...

Pantanella F, Berlutti F, Passeri D, Sordi D, Frioni A, Natalizi T, et al.
Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis . 2011 Oct; 2011:291513. PMID: 22007207
Biofilm is a common bacterial lifestyle, and it plays a crucial role in human health, causing biofilm-mediated infections. Recently, to counteract biofilm development, new nano-structured biomaterials have been proposed. However,...

Berlutti F, Pantanella F, Natalizi T, Frioni A, Paesano R, Polimeni A, et al.
Molecules . 2011 Aug; 16(8):6992-7018. PMID: 21847071
Lactoferrin, a multifunctional iron binding glycoprotein, plays an important role in immune regulation and defence mechanisms against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Lactoferrin's iron withholding ability is related to inhibition of...

Pantanella F, Valenti P, Frioni A, Natalizi T, Coltella L, Berlutti F
J Microbiol Methods . 2008 Aug; 75(3):478-84. PMID: 18721833
The medical device-related infections are frequently a consequence of Staphylococcus biofilm, a lifestyle enhancing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Antibiotic susceptibility tests are usually performed on planktonic forms of clinical isolates....
