Thermophilic Campylobacter species are among the main culprits behind bacterial gastroenteritis globally and have grown progressively resistant to clinically important antimicrobials. Many studies been carried out explore innovative alternative strategies control antibiotic-resistant campylobacters in animal reservoirs human hosts; however, limited performed develop efficient schemes against biofilms. This study investigated antimicrobial antibiofilm activities of some herbal extracts...
Antimicrobial resistance poses considerable issues for current clinical care, so the modified use of antimicrobial agents and public health initiatives, coupled with new approaches, may help to minimize impact multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in future. This study aimed evaluate antimicrobial, antioxidant, immunomodulatory activities Lagenaria siceraria, Thymus vulgaris, their chitosan nanocomposites against extensive drug-resistant (XDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa vancomycin-resistant...
Invasive candidiasis poses a worldwide threat because of the rising prevalence antifungal resistance, resulting in higher rates morbidity and mortality. Additionally,
The first milk after birth is also known as colostrum.The composition of animal and human colostrum depends very much on different factors such as: species, breed genetical characteristics, feeding program, diet.Bovine used in therapies due to its nutraceuticals, but because the cow gives high quantity compared other species (goats or ewes).The immunological properties are acknowledged various studies.Due immunoglobiline content, it an alternative therapy immunity enhancement.Colostrum...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health challenge affecting food safety and development. Residues of antibiotics in from animal sources, particularly milk, contribute to the development spread AMR, alter intestinal microbiota, potentially lead allergies, serious conditions, environmental technological problems within dairy industry. Therefore, this study investigated residue levels veterinary drugs β-lactam tetracyclines milk products assessed human risks. Two...
Environmental pollution negatively affects the aquatic ecosystems. Heavy metals are considered dangerous toxic elements for biota, as metallic or salts which exhibit great stability. Among these, lead is all biotic components. Our research investigated manganese distribution in tissue of Prussian carp fishes after intoxication, highlighted also detoxifying potential active principles from garlic and chlorella (powder). For our experiment 120 fingerlings, weighing 22-25g each, 21 consecutive...
The present study quantified the effect of difenoconazole (DFC) on bacteria and mold communities grown in laboratory conditions, treated soil microcosms difenoconazole, using following concentrations: control, half dose (0.037 mg DFC / g soil, HD), normal (0.075 ND) double (0.150 DD). microbiological analysis included mesophilic involved nitrogen cycle: aerobic anaerobic nitrogen-fixing, ammonifying, nitrifying denitrifying bacteria. were incubated at 37�C identified qualitatively solid...
A wide range of negative effects heavy metals on the body mammals predetermined relevance search for ways to reduce toxic these chemical compounds. Solving this problem is possible by using sorbents. The research aims determine effect sorbents content (cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc) in rat tissues. Toxicological, physicochemical, biochemical methods were used. Phillipsite sorbent reduced copper zinc blood rats 1.6 times, cadmium 2 times lead 2.6 times. livers decreased 1.4 – studied kidney...
Last decades often presented references to traditional medicine, or culinary use of natural resources for a better health status, prevention treatment different diseases. One the plants came lately in researches as miracle salve: Nigella sativa. Also commonly known black cumin, most this plant are seeds, such as, powder, oil extract, hydro alcoholic extracts. Culinary usage N. sativa is referring seeds used spice. Medical plantis mostly extracts administrated orally intraperitoneal. The best...
Physico-chemical parameters of Romanian sea buckthorn fresh or dried berries, including titratable acidity (2.28±0.06 g malic acid/100 FM), pH (2.60±0.08), contents moisture (75.94±2.14 g/100 ash (2.83±0.11 DM), ascorbic acid (1337.6±37.2 mg/100 oil (3.82±0.16 and macro elements, mainly K (11654 mg/kg Mg (668 Ca (645 Na (401 P (271 were evaluated in this paper. The most abundant volatile compounds found the fraction berries isopentyl isovalerate (30.8%), heptanal (11.7%), ethyl hexanoate...
The study presents the effect of Zn and Mn overdoses in relation with other trace metals rat�s liver. All studied are involved some enzymes activity, which implicated antioxidant defense system body. But, conditions � our case an imbalance can appear, character a metal become prooxidant. In this case, antagonistic or synergic behaviour is obvious. observed modifications increasing zinc manganese level liver after solutions administration, amplification over hepatic iron, possibility...
Lignin nanoparticles emerged as a promising alternative for drug delivery systems owing to their biodegradability and bioactive properties. This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract Ocimum basilicum-loaded lignin (OB-LNPs) Lagenaria siceraria seed oil-loaded (LS-LNPs) find solution resistance. OB-LNPs LS-LNPs were tested potential against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Trichophyton...
The relevance of this research arises from the fact that, despite significant scientific and technological advancements humanity has achieved, it not yet learned to use carefully rationally. Rapid industrialisation urbanisation planet, a sharp increase in its population, intensive chemicalisation agriculture, intensification many other types anthropogenic pressure on nature have disrupted circulation substances natural energy exchange processes biosphere, damaged regenerative mechanisms, as...
Identifying novel natural sources from the marine environment with unique immunomodulatory and antioxidant efficacies is of interest in intensive fish farming. In this sense, sponge extract derived Smenospongia (SS-extract) was tested for its potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activities during concurrent infection Trichodina sp. Flavobacterium columnare Nile tilapia. A total 625 tilapia fingerlings were distributed into five groups: control group (with no additives) four groups fed...
Smart innovative nanocomposites based on active ingredients and metallic nanoparticles with effective wound healing antifungal properties are efficient in overcoming the limitations of traditional therapeutic products. Open wounds provide an ideal niche for colonization by
Iron is an essential mineral for the human, animal and plant kingdom, being present in water, soil air. In organism, iron found both as a ferrous ion (Fe2+) ferric (Fe3+), involved oxidoreduction processes part of protein structure or complexes with anions cells tissues. The optimal concentration body depends on several characteristics (organism type, age, gender, environmental conditions - especially related to altitude, physiological status others), but there rather small variation between...
In industrialized countries, many researches have highlighted a correlation between the presence of octylphenol in different plastics or detergents and its estrogenic effect. The metabolism alkylphenols (4-n-octylphenol 4-tert-octylphenol) is depending on alkyl chain at testicular level act as endocrine disruptions. purpose our work was to evaluate effect morphological changes mice. Our experiment performed adult mice, divided into three experimental groups 5 individuals each, respectively:...
Homeostasis of hematological parameters is essential for assuring a general health status any living organism. Iron one the mineral, involved in many vital processes – mainly blood cells production, but same way it can become toxic very high concentration.
